Billings, MT, October 18, 2026 —

The new owners of the historic Laurel school building are seeking public input on ideas for renovating the structure, which was constructed in 1910. They recently held a community open house to gather suggestions about possible future uses.

The owners’ names and the date of the open house were not provided. The available information also does not specify what renovation proposals were raised, how many people attended, or whether the owners have selected a future use for the building.

The outreach gives community members an opportunity to offer suggestions as the owners consider the building’s future. No details were provided about the scope of potential work, the project’s cost, a schedule, or whether renovation plans have been prepared.

The building is described as historic, but no further information was provided about its architectural features, past uses, preservation status, or current condition. It is also unclear whether the owners plan to hold additional public meetings or how community suggestions will be considered.

For now, the stated next step is gathering ideas from the public. The owners have not announced a final plan for the structure, according to the information provided.
