Finishing touches

The Finn addition, and with it effectively all new development additions to Philipsburg, was stuck in the mud. That mud being the sanitary lagoon which the Montana Department of Environmental Quality determined to be out of compliance a decade ago.

Forest Advisory Council amends Granite County’s Growth Plan
The Granite County Forest Management Advisory Committee (FMAC) has approved a document to be included in the County Growth Policy Plan that would allow the Granite County Commissioners to coordinate with federal agencies on forest policy decisions. FMAC was formed by the Commissioners last year to advise them on forest policy. The coordination recommendations represented in the document are the first formal proposal developed by the Committee. The Growth Policy Plan was last updated in 2011 and was approved by the Commissioners in 2012. It helps to guide county policy on development as well as many land use issues. The County Planning Board has begun the process of revising and amending the County Growth Policy Plan.
