The Result of Master Planning

The purchase of the Scott Street Parcel is a response to, and advances the goals of, extensive public planning efforts that have taken place over the last twenty years. Purchase of the parcel would advance goals identified in Missoula’s 2019 Housing Policy, A Place to Call Home, such as the goal to protect and provide developable land to support construction of homes Missoulians can afford. Purchase would also advance goals identified in the North Reserve/Scott Street Master Plan (2016), such as the development of a community focal point, live-and-work space along Scott Street. The prospective purchase is also consistent with the Northside-Westside Neighborhood Plan (2000, 2006), and has opened up exciting opportunities in the Public Works Facility Plan and Cemetery Strategic Plan (both under development).
