restoration

A building constructed south of the river in Missoula to accommodate growth in the railroad could get a facelift in the coming year, restoring it to its original appearance when it opened in 1910.

The mile-long project is the second phase of an effort to restore lower Flint Creek to improve habitat for both fish and wildlife.

The city and a team of state and local partners will turn their focus to a stretch of the Clark Fork River in downtown Missoula in a bid to protect infrastructure, restore habitat and add a new recreational feature.
