​New 43-acre industrial yard in Kalispell will develop over two years, allow city to remove downtown rail tracks
By Dillon Tabish // Mar 30, 2017 // Latest Headlines, News & Features

In April, prospective contractors will be able to bid on the development of a new 43-acre industrial rail yard off Whitefish Stage Road, with construction poised to break ground by July.
Officials with Flathead County Economic Development are preparing to accept bids on the Glacier Rail Park project, which will include building water, road, sewer and other utilities, as well as a new rail line in the former gravel pit site. The park was originally estimated to cost $21 million and will open up additional opportunities for rail-served businesses while freeing up downtown by removing the downtown tracks.

​Students in the Flathead Valley Community College Heavy Equipment Operator’s class are gaining “real-world” experience working on the site of the new Glacier Rail Park this spring semester.

The class first began work on the old gravel pit off Whitefish Stage Road in Kalispell in December working to level the site, which is to become the new rail park.

The Glacier Rail Park is part of the Kalispell Core and Rail Redevelopment plan to relocate the railroad tracks in the downtown area to the old gravel pit in an effort to improve the flow of traffic while offering a new location for businesses serviced by the railroad, as well as open up land in the downtown and core area for redevelopment.
