Bitterroot Resort presentation fires up residents

Enough Bitterroot Valley and Missoula citizens gathered in the Lolo School gym to hear a discussion on the pros and cons of having a four-season destination resort in their community that the bleachers were packed and people stood and sat on the floor.

The Missoula County commissioners hosted Myles Rademan, director of public affairs and communications in Park City, Utah, as he presented a PowerPoint of how his city has dealt with growth.

The overall feeling at the end of the meeting can be summed up by another comment by Linkenhoker.

“It’s within our capabilities to manage this differently,” he said, referring to the proposed resort. “People like me moved here because we were pushed out of other places that became developed. This really is the last best place, and we’re the last people who will let something like this happen.”
