Public hearing extended

During the second reading of an ordinance to create the Grant Creek Crossing TEDD on Nov. 7, the Missoula County commissioners heard comments from the public and affected taxing jurisdictions, including the Missoula Rural Fire District and Hellgate Elementary School District. Both taxing jurisdictions requested mill levies be excluded from the TIF calculation for the proposed Grant Creek Crossing TEDD. The commissioners did not make a decision at the Nov. 7 hearing and asked that the hearing be continued on Nov. 14 for staff and the taxing jurisdictions to have time to determine the effect of excluding mill levies.

The continuation is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. at the Sophie Moiese Room in the Missoula County Courthouse.
