Brief Description of Type of Business and Services Provided by Applicant.
Physical Therapy: Mountain Land operated a physical therapy clinic in l eased space at 405 East Main in Laurel from July
2015 through February 21, 2020. Jeremy Hansen, PT, DPT is the Clinic Director. We provide outpatient orthopedic and
manual physical therapy services. We work with all insurances, Medicare, Medicaid, worker compensation, auto
accident, and private pay patients. Referrals are received from all of the local and regional physicians, nurse
practitioners, PA’s etc. However, we do have some patients who access our services directly, without referral. Our
practice has grown to 3 providers and multiple support staff due to the growing need in Laurel and as a tribute to the high
quality of care that Jeremy and his team have provided to the community.
Brief Description of Project.
Mountain Land purchased the existing building at 204 East Main, which is on leased property own ed by Montana Rail
Link. Alpha Omega Disaster Restoration, the previous owner, designed the tenant improvements and Cucancic
Construction, Inc. was the general contractor. There was moderate remodeling of the current offices and substantial
remodeling to turn the “garage” area into a physical therapy gym. The physical therapy clinic occupies 2,400 sq. ft. of the
4,300 sq. ft. building. We plan to find a tenant that is interested in all of part of the remaining space. We removed the two
garage doors on the east front of the building and had an exterior wall with large windows looking out of the gym. We
eliminated the former parking directly in front of the east front and will landscape with a walkway to the entrance, which
will remain in the same place. We are working on plans for the exterior to make it look like medical office space rather
than a converted shop.
Brief Description of Project Time Line.
Closing date for the purchase of the building occurred in June 2019. Due to escalating construction expenses we had a
difficult time making it through the bidding process and finding a builder who was both affordable and available. Our
original timeline had us moving in by September or October of 2019. In reality, building began in late November or early
December and we received our certificate of occupancy on 2/21/20. We saw our last patients at 405 East Main on
2/21/20, moved the clinic over the next two days and began seeing patients at 204 East Main on 2/24/20.
Explain how the project will support and/or improve the down town district.
The community of Laurel has already embraced our unaffiliated, independent physical therapy service on Main Street.
We have had a wonderful and accommodating landlord in Ken Miller at 405 East Main but the space and the parking are
already inadequate and will not support the growth that we currently have and anticipate will continue with this new
location. Being on the busier portion of Main Street will make our clinic much easier to find for our patients and the
59
Control No. 20-0507-125234
Applicant Initials Page 3 of 7
parking will be more abundant and convenient. With this property being on the east side of the Laurel Chamber of
Commerce building that has park-like landscaping, we want our building to look congruent and equal in quality. These
are the only two business on the south side of Main east of the railroad underpass.
What type(s) of development and/or physical improvements are being considered?
Beautifying the front of the building exterior, plus landscaping, and creating a parking lot.

“Closing our doors
because of the
Coronavirus was
probably the hardest
challenge that I have
ever had as a business
owner. Not
knowing what was
coming each and
every day was
overwhelming!We went
from managing, running
and growing our
business to damage
control.More than
anything, it was
suddenly having to
learn to run a business
that I didn’t create.”
-Kris Carpenter, Joy of
Living/Sanctuary Spa

“A pessimist sees the
difficulty in every
