Missoula’s "The Best Place" Business plan causes concern

“We want to sustain the best place, not just rapidly develop it.”

The fact that the word sustainability only made it into The Best Place Project report once was a topic of concern at the University of Montana Sustainability Lecture Series on Wednesday, September 8.

Released in April, the 53-page report by a private consulting firm seeks to revitalize Missoula’s economy through an aggressive mayor-endorsed 5- to 15-year business development plan.

Environmental Studies Professor Vicki Watson said an open panel discussion on the meaning of the term “sustainability” within the proposed $3.2 million project needed to be addressed at her weekly lecture series.

“We want to sustain the best place, not just rapidly develop it,” Watson said.
