Our Missoula Community Kickoff MCAT Recording

Did you miss the Our Missoula Community Kickoff Presented by the City of Missoula and Common Good Missoula? Watch the MCAT recording here. You can also view the project timeline, project goals, and a timeline of Missoula's built history to get a visual sense of how Missoula has grown to be the City it is today, including a timeline of recent City Policies that relate to the Our Missoula project.

Our Missoula: Growth Policy Update and Code Reform is an extensive project that will work with the community to update Missoula's vision for future growth and to modernize the development regulations, one of our key tools for achieving this vision.
