Defining Livingston's Community Character

What is it about Livingston that makes our community unique? Is it the way the city hugs the bank of the Yellowstone River? The small town and friendly atmosphere? The historic charm of our downtown? The walkability of our traditional neighborhoods? The surrounding open and rural landscape? Is it the wind?

At the public meeting on January 28, hosted by the city, many in attendance spoke to the character of Livingston and the importance of planning with our unique "character" in mind. So the city wants to know: How do YOU define our community's character? This is a great opportunity to guide the city, what aspects are important to you?? The city will incorporate your feedback into their definition as part of the Growth Policy update. The survey is open until next Friday, June 5th.

There’s no denying it, Livingston has character. Livingston is located at an important junction of trails and pathways linking the cardinal directions, used by the wildlife, the continent's first people, and today by all of us. From the blue collar workforce who built the city with the Northern Pacific railroad, to the world class rodeo and celebration every 4th of July (we’ll miss you this year), to the uniquely local and independent small businesses, to the bohemian spirit of all the local artists and entrepreneurs, we know how to work hard and play hard around here — and how to keep a hat on our heads in a hurricane force chinook that can blow two directions at once.

At PCEC, we love the character of Livingston and don’t want to see it change. Thanks for contributing your voice to helping the city define our community character.
