In 2001, the JM Huber Corp. started exploring the idea of drilling for coalbed methane near the Gallatin-Park county line off Interstate 90. As you might imagine, this didn’t sit well with a number of locals. 

Concerned residents convinced Gallatin County Commissioners to enact an emergency zoning regulation which established a temporary moratorium on natural resource development while community members and planners figured out a best path ahead.

The best course of action grew as time went on. It’s these incremental planning steps that we’re going to dive into and talk about at our next Community Conversation, July 7, noon-1 p.m. 

A number of people who were around back then will be joining the discussion.
