Ways to Stay Engaged

Thank you for attending events and engaging with Missoula County as we gathered your community’s thoughts and concerns related to infrastructure in the West Riverside area. We want to make sure these conversations continue to feel accessible and productive, and we thank you for staying with us through this engagement period and participating as much as you did.

Though we will likely not be able to continue a robust engagement effort all year round in the West Riverside on all County news, we still want to make sure your community continues to feel heard and understood. One of the easiest ways to do this is attend your Bonner-Milltown Community Council meeting from 7-9 p.m. on the second Monday of each month, located at the Bonner School cafeteria. If you have topics of interest you want to discuss, reach out to the council to get the conversation going at bcommunitycouncil@gmail.com. County staff are available and happy to give presentations at these meetings if you want to do a deeper dive into a specific topic.

We especially want to invite you to a community conversation event happening during the regular council meeting time at 7-9 p.m. Monday, Jan. 8, at the Bonner School. This will be an event that involves county staff from multiple public-facing departments, such as Public Works, planning, the health department, parks and trails and more. More information will be advertised and sent out about this event, so stay tuned!

We also suggest you sign up to receive the most recent County news by subscribing to the Missoula County Weekly newsletter, which goes out each week. Subscribe at http://missoula.co/subscribe and choose “weekly newsletter” as your preference to receive the news straight to your email every Monday.

You can also keep up with what’s happening at the County by following us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and listening to our podcast at http://missoula.co/podcast.

To engage on County projects that are happening in your area, you can visit https://missoulacountyvoice.com and register to “follow” projects you may be interested in. Missoula County Voice hosts all major projects happening at the County, such as development proposals, the County budget and more. You can also confirm different myths or rumors you’ve heard that involve the County on the “Myth Busters!” Missoula County Voice page to see if they’re accurate or not.

We know your community also values physical engagement, such as sandwich board signs and flyers. When there is a topic of interest to your community, staff will aim to hang flyers around your community with information on this topic. The Bonner-Milltown Community Council is also looking into purchasing sandwich boards that can regularly display information pertinent to your community.
