The Lincoln Prosperity Proposal aims to make Lincoln, Montana a recreation destination

If a group of community leaders are successful, Lincoln will become known as a recreation destination than just a place for fuel and a quick bite to eat.

There’s hope the plan they’re working on will give the town a more certain economic future, by having plans for thousands of acres of public lands around the town.

Lincoln is already a landmark for travelers on Montana Highway 200 as it’s one of the few places for “gas and grub” between Missoula and Great Falls. But for some Montanans, it’s also a launching point for all kinds of recreation.
