We all want the same thing: to live a good life in a prospering place. But what is the best way to make our community safer and more inviting? How do we make Missoula financially stronger and resilient, both now and into the future? And how can we work together to take steps to accomplish that vision together? The Reserve St. Public Working Group is pleased to present a free public presentation on “High Values in Missoula: A Strong Towns Perspective,” featuring John Pattison, community builder at Strong Towns.
A big proponent for the study will be public outreach to see what citizens want from Reserve Street. |
