Social distancing, face coverings and sanitizing protocols are vital. We encourage all to maintain regular handwashing with soap and water, keeping hands away from face, and cleaning communally touched surfaces such as keyboards, doorknobs, light switches, phones, etc. because these are the best defense against getting viruses.

The Triangle Community Plan including Belgrade, Bozeman and Gallating County was developed by the Planning Coordination Committee (PCC) in cooperation with community partners, local government departments and public input to establish policies in the Triangle to achieve the vision of: Regional coordination creates and maintains a coherent land use pattern that supports the needs of existing and future citizens and the desire to protect community character and amenities. Cooperation between jurisdictions supports development patterns that do not compromise the ability of municipalities to grow in the future or expand necessary infrastructure.
