Laurel Council Faces Forensic Facility Legal Crossroads | Bozeman News
Description
Laurel’s city council faces a pivotal decision: should they sue the state over a controversial new forensic facility? Spearheaded by local group Laurel C.A.R.E.D., residents are pushing back against construction plans on a 114-acre site where the state recently installed gates—just last Friday—raising alarms for nearby homeowners. The Montana Board of Investments acquired the land in June, and the facility will house 32–64 beds to assess inmates’ mental fitness for trial. With attorneys poised to advise them, the council’s move could define whether Laurel stands up to state power—or lets this project proceed unchallenged.
