Great Falls City Commissioners moved unanimously to approve the conditional use permit for the Aim High Big Sky aquatics and recreation center to be built in Lions Park during their meeting Tuesday night.
The facility, designed by LPW Architecture and TD&H Engineering, is set to incorporate pools for both recreation and Malmstrom Air Force training, as well as a gym facility and indoor track. Construction drawings for the project are to be submitted in August so that it can be put out for bid and be shovel-ready by September, according to LPW principle architect Tim Peterson during his presentation. The team will have five years to complete construction, but Peterson said it would likely take less time.
City Commissioners moved to approve the land exchange agreement between the city of Great Falls and Independence Bank and approved the Independence Bank minor subdivision and 10th Street Bridge minor subdivision this week.
The intent of the land swap is for the land along the Missouri River to be acquired by the city to facilitate a future trail connection to the 10th Street Bridge, and for the bank to gain additional land from the city needed for parking for their eventual development project, per Director of Planning and Community Development Craig Raymond.
“For years, there s been visions of providing enhanced trail connections on each side of the river through the restoration of the 10th Street Bridge,” Raymond said. “The project has taken several years to bring it to this point and we find ourselves in a position to secure land on the south side of the river, which can be used as a connecting point to our renowned River s Edge trail system.”
