HELENA, Mont. (AP) - The Diocese of Helena is looking to develop nearly 450,000 square feet of retail, commercial and hotel space.

The Independent Record reports (http://bit.ly/1OewI9n ) that the diocese has contracted with Trinity Restoration LLC for the retail sites in the future Trinity Center near the Interstate 15 and Custer Street interchange.

The site is being developed as part of the Helena Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. A federal bankruptcy judge approved the diocese’s plan in March to compensate more than 360 alleged sexual abuse victims.

The property is owned by the Resurrection Cemetery Association. Proceeds will also support the maintenance of cemeteries in Butte, Helena and Missoula.

Construction on the first phase of Trinity Center is expected to begin next year.
