*The new Flathead County Growth Policy was adopted in 2007 after over almost a decade of efforts to find the community consensus needed to update it.  As adopted, it is a broad and general policy with important goals, but lacks clearer guidance needed to address the rapid growth we are experiencing. The recent update of the Flathead County Subdivision Regulations provide additional important guidance. The adoption of  new land use tools and policies, to more effectively guide growth and ensure that it respects the character of this special place, are one of the most important planning issues facing the Flathead.
