Gallatin County Proposes New Strategy to Manage Growth
Gallatin County is one of the fastest growing counties in America. At the growth rate of the past decade, the number of homes in the county will nearly double in the next 20 years. The Gallatin County Commissioners have proposed a countywide zoning plan to control sprawl and direct growth to existing communities through a combination of incentives and regulations. Their decisions in the next few months will shape the future of Gallatin County’s landscape.
