MISSOULA, Mont. - Across the grounds from the upcoming Rocky Mountain Exploration Center, another building is being renovated, the Home Arts building, near the entrance off South Avenue. It s planned to be finished in time for the fair.
Crews are working to make the building more accessible with ADA upgrades. Then, they ll be adding big storefront windows so folks can look out to the rest of the carnival grounds. They re also getting rid of the chain link fence inside the grounds and renovating Mercantile Alley, the path that connects the Home Arts building to the new historic plaza. There they ll be adding new lights and fresh landscaping.
