KALISPELL - The next step in revitalizing the Kalispell downtown is underway as the first phase of the new Glacier Rail Park has broken ground as part of the larger Kalispell Core Area Project.
Tuesday’s work is just the beginning of a five-year plan to remove the old rail tracks from downtown and make the area more pedestrian-friendly.
“This is truly a transformative moment, this is the moment in history 50 years from now we’re going to look back and realize that the pain and sacrifice we made was well worth the effort,” said Kalispell Mayor Mark Johnson.
