Helena City Commission Community Meeting About Downtown Issues – Monday 7/23

"Come, lend us your expertise, and let’s get this solution going."

Helena city leaders want to hear from the public on their concerns about "undesirable and unlawful behavior" in the downtown area.

Mayor Wilmot Collins and the Helena City Commission will host a community conversation on the issues, at 5:30 p.m. Monday in the Helena Civic Center ballroom.

Earlier this year, a number of downtown business owners sent the city a letter. They said they have seen a growing number of incidents involving homeless people or transients, especially around the 400 block of Last Chance Gulch. They said the incidents have made employees and customers uncomfortable and brought negative effects for their businesses.
