What Is the Downtown Missoula Master Plan? 

The Downtown Master Plan was updated and adopted in 2019, and it guides decision-making on all things Downtown. It’s the community’s vision for Missoula’s city center, and the work is driven by the Downtown Missoula Partnership (DMP). 

The Master Plan Implementation Team, co-chaired by Ellen Buchanan (BID Board) and Matt Mellott (MDA Board), is a mission committee of the DMP comprised of representatives from both the public and private sectors that meets monthly to focus on implementation.

More than 3,000 individuals participated in developing the new vision for Downtown Missoula, written by the award-winning planning firm Dover, Kohl & Partners.

Which Stakeholders Support the Downtown Master Plan? 

Organizational representatives serving on the committee include the Missoula Redevelopment Agency, Sterling Commercial Real Estate, University of Montana, Missoula County, Missoula Economic Partnership, Parks & Rec, Public Works, Community Planning, Development & Innovation (CPDI), Missoula City Council, Destination Missoula, Berkshire Hathaway, Missoula Parking Commission, Mountain Line, Merrill Lynch, the Missoula Chamber, and Arts Missoula.
