| City may consider selling mansion for $400K The City of Bozeman is considering selling the Story Mansion to Exergy Integrated Systems, a wind turbine manufacturer based in Boise, Idaho, with offices in Helena and Great Falls. Under the proposal, Exergy would partner with Friends of the Story Mansion to form a joint nonprofit and continue to operate the first floor as a community center and grounds as a city park. Over five years, they would also restore the second floor, third floor and carriage house to be rented out to nonprofit and educational organizations. Exergy has had early conversations with MSU administrators about a university group, such as the Institute for the Humanities, becoming an anchor tenant in the mansion.
