Program Description
The Missoula City-County Office of Planning and Grants (OPG) was created by Missoula County and the City of Missoula pursuant to an interlocal agreement executed by the two governing bodies in 1996. The interlocal agreement was subsequently modified in 2005.
The purpose of the interlocal agreement is to enhance the ability of the City of Missoula and Missoula County to plan for future development of the City and County so that a county-wide pattern of community-building, land use, and conservation that reflects the environmental, economic, aesthetic, and social values of city and county residents is achieved.
The Office of Planning and Grants is organized into five divisions:
- Administration and Support Services
- Grants Administration
- Transportation Planning
- Current Planning (Permits and Projects)
- City Research and Long Range Planning (Urban Initiatives)
