Comprehensive Planning

Development and implementation of the Great Falls Growth Policy is the major focus of this Section. The 1999 Comprehensive Plan received minor updates in 2003 and 2005 for the purpose of compliance with Montana Growth Policy Laws.

In the spring of 2004, a Corridor Plan for lands adjoining the Missouri River in the core of the Great Falls urban area was completed. The Plan reviews the existing conditions along the River and provides a new vision for the corridor. The main intent of the Plan is to encourage sustainable redevelopment that allows for a more vital, accessible riverfront, while at the same time restoring and conserving the natural amenities of riverfront lands. The Missouri River Urban Corridor Plan (8562k PDF) is available for viewing from this website.
