Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 15th of November.
Good morning, Kalispell.
🏘️ Community
On Thursday, local business leaders walked through downtown Kalispell under thick fog—thanking merchants and filling out a brief survey as part of the new Downtown Forward Coalition led by the Chamber—to draft a four-phase blueprint for Main Street improvements.
The coalition, which brings together six local organizations, used community input to guide plans after earlier safety projects stalled.
🏛️ Government
Flathead County Planning Office referred Mule Shoe Outfitters to the county attorney for a zoning violation after a helicopter tour company flew tours from its West Glacier property this summer.
County officials said the tours broke Middle Canyon zoning rules — no voluntary compliance has been received and the red helicopter is no longer on site as winter approaches.
Investigators found that a plane crash in Kalispell was caused by the pilot — Flathead County Commissioners sent a letter to the Department of the Interior asking for help with Flathead Lake.
Glacier Park International Airport officials stated that the government shutdown had minimal impact on flight schedules.
