The plan builds upon the assets and advantages of Downtown as the cultural and civic center of Great Falls, with its historic buildings, parks and open spaces and proximity to the Missouri River. As a center of em- ployment, commerce, shopping, dining and entertainment, and host to numerous community and special events throughout the year, Downtown is uniquely situated to become the heart of Great Falls. The primary goal of the Plan is to facilitate the creation of a Downtown that is more active, vibrant, accessible and livable. Downtown Great Falls, like downtowns in many cities throughout the United States, has faced its share of challenges over time. Our growing dependence on the automobile and inexpensive and abundant land has led to businesses relocating outside the central core taking their customers with them. At this time, although Downtown is amenity rich, it lacks the criti- cal mass and diversity of uses needed to sustain a thriving environment. The City of Great Falls, especially Downtown, is at a pivotal juncture where opportunities for renewal and revitalization has the potential to be realized. This Plan creates a vision and outlines actions, partnerships and timeframes that will fa- cilitate the “re-birth” of a regional destination. The extraordinary outcome of the assiduous efforts of the nearly 100 community members who participated in creating the Plan will benefit generations to come. However dynamic the Plan may be, to influence the future it must become a living document that is thoughtfully considered, continually consulted and perhaps, on occasion amended. This is

The reassessment was in response to guidelines developed by the U. S. Department of Transportation and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency for citizen participation in the transportation planning process. It was concluded that a better defined and more effective citizen’s participation process was needed. As such, the Planning Board prepared a participation program which addressed and identified weaknesses and outlined the procedures to be followed in carrying out the process. With the passage of the Federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, an additional assessment of the Planning Board's public involvement process was conducted and resulted in the process revision dated May, 1996. On April 26, 2005, the Cascade County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution to dissolve the Great Falls City-County Planning Board and associated jurisdictional area, effective July 1, 2005.
