Construction plans were released this week for prospective bidders on the Miller Creek Road Improvements project in Missoula.  The project consists of reconstructing approximately 3,400 feet of Miller Creek Road from Briggs Street to Mockingbird Way, including approximately 500 feet of Lower Miller Creek Road.  A roundabout will be installed at the intersection of Upper and Lower Miller Creek Roads, as well as new curb and gutter, sidewalk, bike lanes, lighting, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, signing, striping and landscaping.

Brent Campbell, president of WGM Group, Inc., has announced that WGM recently purchased a new office building. WGM will be moving January 18th from its current location to 1111 East Broadway in Missoula. WGM is an locally owned and operated, community-centered land use planning, engineering, and surveying firm that has been building better communities, safer roads, and healthier places to live, work, and play in the Northwest for over 40 years.

Enduring the same economic climate as its fellow community members, WGM employees appreciate tough economic times. However, with the help of the Small Business Association (SBA), WGM has taken advantage of the tremendous funding opportunities to acquire much needed space.

On behalf of the Missoula Redevelopment Agency, WGM Group, Inc. graciously welcomes all parties interested in learning about the Brooks Street Commercial Corridor Curb and Sidewalk Project, to attend a Public Open House on August 19^th, 2009 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Opportunity Resources, Inc., 2821 S. Russell Street. This open house will provide an opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary design. 

This project is designed to take steps toward a safer, greener Missoula. The Missoula Redevelopment Agency, in conjunction with the City of Missoula, has geared up to increased pedestrian travel by creating a safer, more complete sidewalk network in the Brooks Street Commercial Corridor and the adjacent streets located within the Urban Renewal District (URD) III, also known as Midtown. With a focus on sustainability and quality of life, these improvements are designed to encourage the use of non-motorized routes, reducing Missoula's dependence on single occupancy vehicles. These changes are set to brighten Missoula's future, so to speak, by reducing traffic congestion and its inevitable pollution.

In recent months, six WGM Group engineers have earned their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

After many years of planning, the final phases of the Wye Area Sanitary Sewer RSID 8489 project are finally underway!

City sewer was extended to the Wye Area, northwest of Missoula near the interchange of Highway 93 and Interstate 90, in 2007 with the building of the Wye Sewer backbone.  That project completed construction of two pump stations and related mains to serve a portion of the area's population.  The remainder of that system is now being built to serve all of the residents within RSID 8489.
