infrastructure

The city and county of Missoula will try for a second time to land a second federal grant to fully complete missing infrastructure in the greater Mullan area.

Citing new opportunities around the recent closure of the Roseburg mill, the City of Missoula plans to create a new master plan for the North Reserve/Scott Street Urban Renewal District.

Missoula County this week adopted an infrastructure plan for the Wye – a step to support what's expected to become the next hub of growth within the Missoula metropolitan area.

While questions linger, the Missoula City Council on Monday officially approved an agreement to bring a $24 million downtown transportation project to final engineering and design.

Planners say they need the Coast Guard to green light a design, a decision expected in the spring. Construction isn’t getting any cheaper.

Voters shot down a Missoula County effort to levy more mills to fund the maintenance and repair of roads and bridges, along with other infrastructure needs.

A new ribbon of light will soon run through Missoula as crews get ready to flip the switch on the Bitterroot Branch Trail's lighting system.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little and officials broke ground Tuesday on a two-year, $20 million project to upgrade and modernize a nearly 100-year-old diversion dam located on the Boise River.

It may take 20 years, but a new subdivision in the greater Mullan area will provide more than 670 new housing units, along with commuter trails and new street connections, when it's fully completed.

Jim Bachand, Grant Kier and Chad Bauer write, "We believe this is a responsible and necessary step to keep Missoula County moving forward. We strongly encourage voters to support this important levy."
