Good morning, Kalispell.

Today in Kalispell, the Arts in the Park Festival celebrates its 55th year as local artists, vendors, and musicians showcase their work to the public.

Funds from the event support the Glacier Arts Museum (formerly The Hockaday Museum of Art) and its educational programs.

Marcia Stolfus was appointed Flathead County Superintendent of Schools after Cal Ketchum retired and she has 18 years of education experience.

She is reaching out to district administrators and parents to support 23 school districts—focusing on staffing and funding challenges.

Cyrus Western, EPA’s new regional administrator for Region 8, toured the contaminated Columbia Falls Aluminum Company site near Teakettle Mountain on July 17 and said cleanup plans will follow Superfund law even as the agency plans cuts — he added that local development may soon bring new housing and jobs to the area.

Kalispell City Council invites public input on the Reserve at Johnson Ranch, a large high density development proposal that will feature 186 single family lots + two multi family lots of 237 and up to 70 units.

A public hearing is set for 7 p.m. today at City Hall and Council will vote on the project on Aug. 4 as developers seek annexation, zoning amendments and other approvals for the nearly 92 acre site at Stillwater Road and Old Reserve Drive.
