The Bureau of Reclamation, Montana Area Office, is pleased to announce the award of a two-year concession contract for operation of the Tiber Marina to Ms. Nancy Nelson. Ms. Nelson previously served as the Tiber Marina Concessionaire from 1997 to 2002, and brings with her a wide range of experience working within the local communities.

"When the previous Tiber Marina concession operators decided to retire before the expiration of their contract, this two-year business opportunity was determined to be the best way to continue providing services to the public at the marina until Reclamation can get a new, long-term contract advertised and awarded," said Mike LaFrentz, manager of Reclamation's Marias/Milk Rivers Division.

"We look forward to working with Ms. Nelson over the next two years to provide a quality experience for the recreating public at Tiber Marina. We appreciate the public interest in the concession contracting process, and recognize the important contributions that Tiber Marina provides to the recreating public and the local economies of Liberty and Toole Counties," LaFrentz added.
