grass valley gardens

Calling it an innovative approach to housing and development and saying it was in the right place, Missoula County on Thursday approved the Grass Valley Gardens subdivision at the Wye.

Grass Valley Gardens, which consists of 187 acres south of Highway 10, is proposed as a Planned Unit Development that looks to create a stand-alone community built around a range of housing types, commercial amenities and a 45-acre permaculture farm.

Citing a shortage of housing in Missoula and the county's planning efforts at the Wye, a local development team looks to break ground on a new residential project built around a farm and a town center next year.
