Kalispell mayor hosts event to gauge interest – Committee to Study Development of Civic Center or Arts Venue

The long-proposed idea of building some type of performing arts or civic center in Kalispell has been largely dormant since the economic downturn quashed any ambitious construction plans requiring fundraising.

But the idea itself persists, prompting Kalispell Mayor Tammi Fisher to host a "conference facility scoping session" last week at City Hall to gauge interest.

"We need to determine if it’s something viable for this community," Fisher said. "And if it’s not, then we need to move on."
