PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission will hold their regular meeting on
Tuesday, May 14, 1996, beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Kalispell City Hall, 213 First
Avenue East, Kalispell.
During this meeting, the Planning Board will consider the implementation of the Airport Urban Renewal
Plan and will formulate a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council as required by Montana Code,
Section 7-15-4215. The following is a brief description of the proposal:
The City of Kalispell wishes to implement the Kalispell City Airport Neighborhood Plan
which was adopted as an amendment to the Kalispell City -County Master Plan by the
Kalispell City Council and the Flathead County Board of Commissioners. This Plan
includes a strategy to improve the airport safety and operation as well as enhancing the
opportunities for private investment and economic development in the area.
Elements of the Plan include the relocation of the existing ballfields, upgrading the City
Airport to FAA standards and improving the existing infrastructure which will afford
opportunities for private investment in the area. These improvements will be
accomplished, in part, through the creation of a tax increment finance district.
The City of Kalispell Department of Planning, Economic and Community Development
has prepared a document known as the "Kalispell City Airport / Athletic Complex
Redevelopment Plan Analysis" which defines an area for redevelopment which contains
approximately 122 acres of private property and 135 acres of City property.
The Planning Board will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council. The
City Council has scheduled a public hearing on this matter for June 17, 1996.
Documents pertaining to the proposed Airport Urban Renewal Plan are on file in the Department of
Planning, Economic and Community Development located at Third Avenue East and Third Street East
or at Flathead Regional Development Office, 723 Fifth Avenue East, Room 414, Kalispell, MT 59901,
and are available for public review during regular office hours.
Interested persons are encouraged to attend the meeting and make their views and concerns known to
the Board. Comments in writing may be submitted to the Planning, Economic and Community
Development Office or the Flathead Regional Development Office at the above addresses prior to the
date of the meeting.
