Subject:
Protect the Blackfoot River – Enact Emergency Interim Zoning
Message:
Hello Commissioners,
I’m a Missoula County resident writing about the proposed gravel pit and asphalt plant along the Blackfoot River corridor near Bonner. I urge you to enact Emergency Interim Zoning now to protect public health, safety, and community welfare.
The Blackfoot is a place of deep meaning in my life — a river where our community fishes, floats, gathers, and restores. Please protect this landscape for future generations.
Please log my comment for the public record and notify me of any upcoming hearings related to this issue.
Thank you for your time and service.
Your Voice Matters
After you’ve called or emailed, encourage friends, family, and neighbors to do the same.
Together, we can ensure the Blackfoot River remains wild, clean, and protected for generations to come.
