What community priorities will the Growth Policy Update address?

Much of the Growth Policy that was adopted in 2015 remains relevant and is an important expression of the community’s values and priorities. Yet, the intention is for the Growth Policy Update to address issues that have evolved or have become more pressing in recent years. These issues include but are not limited to:

• Social, cultural, and racial inequities

• Housing shortages and the rise in housing costs

• The accelerating effects of climate change

The Our Missoula process will seek the community’s input to further define and focus on these issues.
