Hi Sara,
Thanks for your question! At this phase in the process we do not have a timeline for the redevelopment project or the number of expected housing units and commercial space. The City selected a development team in the summer of 2023 and has been working with the team to come up with a development concept for the site that aligns with City goals and is financially feasible. It is taking some time given high construction costs and interest rates, as well as the uncertainty around tariffs. When there is a feasible development concept for the property this will go to the MRA Board and City Council for approval. We will update the Engage page at that time.
Thanks for engaging!

Share Hi. Some feedback on the survey:
I found it very general, and when considering each of the choices presented in the survey, my thoughts were always, "it depends." For example, how would I rank restaurants? It depends on the type of restaurant--i would rank a local burrito spot much higher than I would a pricey dinner spot that average Missoulians can't afford to eat at. Ditto for housing, retail and many of the other options presented. "It depends."
So, I wouldn't put a ton of stock in the survey.
Finally, the Downtown Master Plan was revised before COVID. I think many of Missoula's needs, desires (as well as the ability to pay for them) have changed since 2019. So, I would not restrict ideas for the development of this block to what is contained within the DMP. It simply isn't as relevant as it was then. Missoula has changed a lot in 4 years. Thank you. on Facebook
