The next 20 years in Missoula will see the need to create places to live
for 15,000 new households. The market is changing, and people are
interested in smaller-scale neighborhoods with schools, shopping and
restaurants nearby. Missoula can make room for these new places within
the present-day urban area. But how will we choose to grow?
At City Club Missoula’s next forum May 19, Roger Millar, director of the
Missoula city-county Office of Planning and Grants, will talk about the
Urban Fringe Development Area Project. The UFDA looks at where growth has
been going and where it might go: continue as the current trends show,
focus growth into town centers or focus growth in the urban core.
The UFDA Project takes a new and fascinating look at how Missoula grows.
Millar and his staff are leading public discussion to help develop a
framework plan that incorporates what the community wants in its Growth
Policy. Come join the conversation at City Club.
