Kalispell

Kalispell’s current Growth Policy, “Plan-It 2035,” was adopted by the Kalispell City Council on July 3, 2017.

Feeling frustrated by Kalispell's rapid growth and the seemingly endless sprawl eating up our beautiful open spaces? You're not alone. Let's move past the “not in my backyard" mindset and instead advocate for a city that grows inward, not outward, creating a financially resilient community (heck, maybe even with lower taxes) that protects the very landscapes and options for rural living that we cherish.
