Managers expect to ramp up resident capacity at the facility in coming months. The Southwest Montana Color Guard bookended the ceremony. After long-running funding roadblocks, the moment comes nearly 30 years since the $20 million Butte complex was first proposed, and three months after its doors first opened to veterans. The event was emotional for some in attendance, including 92-year-old Korean War veteran James Ingram. “There’s a lump in my throat. I love it,” Ingram says. The complex has five 12-bedroom cottages and a community center complete with a medical exam room, physical therapy area and barbershop. Ingram moved in this month from a nursing home in Deer Lodge and was quickly taken by the facilities, staff and friendships he struck with other residents.
