“Does this look like it’s spacious enough for 160 units?”

 

Our mission at FFRG MT is to help guide responsible growth and development in the Flathead Valley in an effort to honor safety, quality of resources, and retention of community and character.

While some developers are committed to growing responsibly, it’s up to us to voice our opinions and concerns when we see something that looks like it might be irresponsible.

The congestion at the intersection of Edgewood and Wisconsin has increased dramatically in recent years. An additional 160 units funneling onto Edgewood to cross over the viaduct will further increase congestion.

Addressing the low water table 

These pictures reflect what they have done to address the low water table issue. A tremendous amount of gravel has been dropped on the site.  This will resolve the water issues for the structures they intend to build, but the runoff will go to the neighbors without proper drainage. We’ve reached out to our contact at Ruis who is consistently very responsive. We’ll be sure to share the response with you.
