Bigfork, Montana: a little town with big plans

Community leaders in Bigfork have begun the process of gathering together the townsfolk to get ideas about what they want their town to look like in future decades. It’s a citizen-driven effort that aims to gauge what residents want, and the suggestions are piling up, from more bike trails and year-round activities to better landscaping and sidewalks.

What’s refreshing to learn is that there’s no agenda to this civic exercise of mapping out community development, but rather, as one planning committee member put it, a place "for gracious conversation to happen."
