Fox Site Development
The Fox Site is located along the north shore of the Clark Fork River at the southwest corner of the intersection of Orange and West Front Streets. The city, through MRA, has prepared the Fox Site to accommodate a model multi-use development which will be the anchor of the west entrance to the downtown core and the east entry to the West Broadway corridor. The city has directed MRA to seek an appropriate private development team to realize this vision. View the Fox Site Parcel Map, Request for Proposals Legal Ad, New Fox Site RFP document-May 2011.

Greater Downtown Master Plan

Old Sawmill District Project
After nearly 100 years as a lumber mill, the 45-acre site along the south shore of the Clark Fork River is being cleaned up and made ready for an urban-density, multi-use residential, and commercial neighborhood. Now called the Old Sawmill District, the site is adjacent to the downtown core and established residential neighborhoods. The project will also feature a nearly 15-acre riverfront public park, an extensive trail system, and parking for the civic stadium which hosts the Osprey minor-league baseball team and other events.

Southgate Area Redevelopment Plan
The primary objective of the Southgate Area Redevelopment Plan is to identify strategies for redeveloping vacant property south of Southgate Mall and provide direction on how to best apply public and private dollars toward that goal. The plan defines a vision for the property and contains specific goals and objectives to achieve that vision. View the Southgate Area Redevelopment Plan Summary Report - July 2006.

West Broadway Corridor Vision Plan
The MRA and the city partnered to fund a public process that allowed the community to define the future of one of the major streets providing access to the downtown and the only east west arterial north of the Clark Fork River. A portion of West Broadway was modified from a four-lane to a three-lane street in 2006, creating a great deal of controversy and discussion in the community. The MRA took that opportunity to invite the community to take a much broader look at the corridor and develop a vision to guide investment of public funds in that part of Urban Renewal District II.
