The Missoula County commissioners held a public hearing Thursday, July 28, 2022 and approved putting a bond on the November 2022 ballot that would fund renovations at the Missoula County Fairgrounds. The $19 million, 20-year general obligation bond would provide revenue to:

  • construct an agricultural and livestock arena for 4-H, FFA and other community programs

  • build a third sheet of ice at Glacier Ice Rink (with $5 million in outside funding)

  • make site improvements and enhance green spaces

This bond would have provided public funding for Phase 2a of the Fairgrounds redevelopment project. The tax impact would have been about $7 per year for every $100,000 in assessed property value for the duration of the 20 year general obligation bond.
