Community Engages in Master Planning

Online Visioning Survey to Follow in October

ECONorthwest, SERA Design and our team of economists, transportation planners and urban designers met with over 200 Missoulians this week to gather ideas and feedback for the Midtown Master Plan. 


Housing, bicycle and pedestrian safety, parking and road connectivity were among the discussion topics during the community visioning workshop and small group meetings. 


An online survey will be published on MidtownMasterplan.com in October for more Missoulians to participate in the proces (a follow up email will be sent when the survey is live.) 


What do you love most about Midtown? What do you think is missing? Now is the time to give your feedback to our design team so they can take the suggestions and work on drafting the preliminary plan for community input.


The first plan drafts will be presented to the public in early 2023. Email us with any questions at midtown@missoulamidtown.com. Updates on the process will be posted on the Midtown website.

Join fellow members of the Missoula Midtown Association for our October Midtown Mixer at the Mustard Seed, located at 2901 Brooks Street (in the upstairs meeting room). This event is hosted by First Security Bank.


Enjoy appetizers, drinks and networking in this recently built new space!



First Security Bank first opened its doors in downtown Missoula in 1972. Quickly growing to a family of seven full-service branch locations, we also established full-service locations in the nearby communities of Corvallis, Hamilton, Plains, Thompson Falls and, Stevensville.

First Security Bank offers a full-range of banking products and services providing individuals and businesses with the help necessary to achieve their financial goals, today and throughout their lives.

We operate our own management teams in the towns we know well, because we live here too! We value being an integral part of our many communities and are proud to serve friends, neighbors and local businesses not only with superior banking products and services, but with considerable investments of our own time and effort to help non-profit and community organizations wherever we are. In fact, we support more than 400 local community organizations every year. 

In 1996 we joined the Glacier Family of Banks, owned by Kalispell, Montana-based Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (GBCI). Glacier Bank is a regional bank providing world-class financial services to individuals and businesses throughout the Western United States. This has enabled us to serve our local communities with the same unique personal attention and friendly service our customers have come to expect, with the added resources of our much larger banking family.

We proudly serve the communities of Missoula, Hamilton, Corvallis, Stevensville, Lolo, Thompson Falls and Plains Montana.

Crowds flocked to Midtown last weekend for the University of Montana's Homecoming Parade. Marching bands, floats and even a zamboni displayed school spirit for the Griz.
