MISSOULA — Fort Missoula's future may be closer than we think.

In a rare happenstance, the diverse stakeholders city, county, state, federal, private who own the fort's acreage agree on a

preliminary development plan for the area.

superpark unlike any in the

United States.

Imagine this: 10 kilometers of walking trails that meander along the Bitterroot River and wander the periphery of new soccer fields and softball pitches worthy of regional competitions.

Trails that connect the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula and the Rocky Mountain Museum of Military History to new picnic areas, a swimming pond, a series of gardens and lead to the Hydrogen Futures Park, the University of Montana's new College of Technology campus and the state's first hydrogen-fueled facility.
