MISSOULA, Mont. – The Wye, an area suitable for commercial and residential development Missoula County.

The proposed Grass Valley Gardens residential development is located on Highway 10, near Interstate 90 and Highway 93, and will cover a total area of ​​66 acres, just outside the gates of the Flathead area.

This project will be divided into four phases, with the first phase comprising 51 residential lots and six commercial lots for 2027 and ending with phase four in 2036.

The project will be financed privately by the project development group WGM and will be determined by the adoption of the master plan.

“In the last decade. There's a lot more development out there, maybe not as much residential construction, but now they're trying to provide the housing that we so desperately need in this county and the state at an affordable price for the residents of Missoul.”

Missoula County has already received several public comments online about the project.

One resident in favor wrote, “As a long-time resident of Missoula, I have seen firsthand the urgent need for more housing, with a focus on affordable housing options. This development seems to hit just the right note.”

“I am against this project because anyone who has done well testing in this area knows that a project of this magnitude is not sustainable with the local water resources,” said one resident who is opposed.

Missoula County Commissioners will consider this project on August 8, and residents can provide public comments at the meeting or share their feedback online.
