Missoula’s Downtown Master Plan is a project of the Downtown Missoula Partnership (DMP). The DMP itself is a collaboration between the Downtown Missoula Business Improvement District, the Missoula Downtown Association, and the Missoula Downtown Foundation.
Dover, Kohl & Partners (DK&P) led a multidisciplinary team of seven specialty consultants and was largely responsible for land use, visualizations, historic preservation, and community engagement.
The Downtown Master Plan involves all aspects of city administration and community life: land use, infrastructure, housing, parking, street design, urban design, historic preservation, and retail and commercial business development.
The Master Plan Update will serve to help guide decisions over 10 years impacting Missoula’s historic downtown and adjoining neighborhoods, including modifications to land use and planning regulations, public and private investment decisions, and prioritization for allocation of municipal and community resources.
