Growth In Great Falls: Be A Part Of The Conversation

Future Planning And Growth In Great Falls

I am always interested in how Great Falls makes decisions on growth and creating a successful environment for expanding and there is an opportunity coming up to be a part of the conversation.

The City of Great Falls Growth Policy Update is going to be at Great Falls College MSU where a consultant team from Orion Planning + Design will be giving presentations on different areas important to the growth of Great Falls in the future.

The presentations will be taking place on Wednesday August 21st and Thursday the 22nd at Great Falls College MSU in Classrooms B136 and B137 focusing on different aspects of the city throughout the two days of presentations.
