Scott Cooney has purchased the West logyard located on the west side of the Blackfoot River in Milltown. This property is in the planning stages and its uses are being discussed with the Bonner and Milltown communities.
The first step in developing the Milltown Logyard is to clean up and remove the Class 3 designation. We are appealing to the state for assistance in this cleanup.
We are also in the process of immediatly establishing a forum for updating the community action plan.
We also want to re-establish the prestine Blackfoot River area by removeal of the powerlines.
