Survey finds high interest in Bigfork planning – residents want a lot of say in how their community grows.

Nearly 200 questions, thousands of answers, and one clear message: Bigfork residents want a lot of say in how their community grows.

That was the unequivocal outcome from a lengthy opinion survey that was sent to more than 6,600 Bigfork area residents this spring.

The survey was created by the Bigfork Steering Committee, a group that’s working to update the 13-year-old Bigfork neighborhood plan.

Almost 1,600 people responded to the questionnaire. Their opinions on a variety of growth and planning issues will help guide the committee’s efforts. It hopes to have a revised plan available by next spring, in time to include it in the new Flathead County growth policy.

"We feel we have enough information from these surveys to represent the interests of Bigfork" during discussions regarding the county growth policy, steering committee member Doug Averill said at a community meeting at the Bigfork Elementary School on Tuesday.
