Thank You and Next Steps

Dear Missoula,

WOW! Thank you for your support. In just a few days we have been able to gather hundreds of signatures both online and in person.

If you are feeling motivated to continue to support the cause here are a few things you might consider.

1. Continue to share this petition. We have overwhelmingly heard that people are not aware of this piece of land and the upcoming sale.
2. Attend the upcoming Missoula Redevelopment Agency (MRA) Board meeting this coming Friday, May 8th at noon in person or virtually. The City announced last Wednesday that they would be holding this special meeting to finalize the use of our tax money for this project and to finalize sale documents. The City has not released any of these documents for public viewership. This again highlights the lack of public engagement and transparency throughout the process. 
   MRA Board meeting — Friday, May 8, 2026, at noon, Hal Fraser Conference Room, 140 W. Pine St.
