MISSOULA â Renovations planned for a building at the Missoula County Fairgrounds will continue Phase 1 improvements to the property and set the stage for a summer groundbreaking of the Rocky Mountain Exploration Center.
It will also mark the beginning of the removal of the chain-link fence surrounding the property, which has long been discussed among the propertyâs most needed improvements.
To move the project forward, Missoula County last week approved an $888,000 contract with Jackson Construction to begin renovations on the Home Arts Building.

MISSOULA â With the construction of the Rocky Mountain Exploration Center poised to begin in the coming months, Missoula County last week approved an agreement with Elkhorn Commissioning Group to aid in the process.
With the $63,600 contract now in place, Elkhorn will streamline the construction process.
âThey basically play a role between the construction people and the sources, particularly for the technical equipment and how weâre putting that together in our new facility,â said Jerry Marks, who helped spearhead the project with the Missoula County Extension and Weed District.
