Gov. Greg Gianforte has signed an executive order paving the way for the Montana Highway Patrol headquarters to move from Helena to Boulder. The order notes the property will house the MHP headquarters and a training facility. The 7,583-square-foot building close to I-15 on Prospect Ave. in Helena, has served as MHP headquarters since 1996. Boulder lost about 250 jobs when the state-owned 48-acre campus shut down a few years ago. MHP officials said Helena employees will be able to move with their jobs.
