Mission As part of the public involvement process for this plan ten public meetings were held during the months of May, June and August of 2003. In addition, the consultants interviewed 35 members of the community. The public meetings, interviews, discussions with DNRC staff, and the Montana statutes which govern the management of state trust lands, helped us to define the overall mission of Whitefish Plan. This mission is as follows: The Whitefish Plan will „i Seek the highest development to produce the greater revenue from state trust lands „i Consider environmental factors in the design and implementation of projects and programs „i Protect the future generating capacity of the land „i Address community values and concerns |
