By Dax VanFossen KALISPELL - Posted: Jun 21, 2016 9:26 PM MDT Updated: Jun 21, 2016 9:26 PM MDT Kalispell redevelopment plans detailed Residents and businesses gathered at the Red Lion Inn on Tuesday to hear all about the changes that will be taking place in Kalispell. More than 100 business owners, community leaders and citizens showed up at the annual Kalispell Chamber of Commerce luncheon to learn about what is in store for the Kalispell core and rail redevelopment plan. One of things they learned was how many national businesses are taking an interest in coming to Kalispell to be part of the revitalization. "Since we've gotten the TIGER grant announcement, which puts us on somewhat of a national radar screen, no kidding, once a month sometimes twice a month we have national companies coming through asking us, what's going on with this core area? What is going on with the plan, where are there sites we can look at, where are you in the process, how soon can things get going?" Kalispell City Planner Tom Jentz said Many of those questions were answered on Tuesday including one of the biggest and nearest changes the movement of several Cenex Harvest States facilities to the new rail park in Evergreen. CHS Manager Mark Lalum says construction will start next year and when it's all said and done a great deal of train and truck tra琂ꇥc will leave the downtown Kalispell area. "The ultimate I would tell you I guess is you know from our world, we run about 550 rail cars a year, out of here. And sometimes we'll push up to 600 cars. With the trucks coming down for you in Kalispell, I do think it's going to be signi슈媰cant." Reduced big rig tra琂ꇥc and little to no rail tra琂ꇥc should relive downtown congestion, but as Jentz told MTN News, once CHS is gone, the city will take over their properties, and change the face of Kalispell. "Those sites, they will be cleared and ready for redevelopment. So that is an excellent opportunity to bring continued life into the community." Lalum told MTN News that construction is set to begin depending on environmental studies next year on the new location and removal of grain elevators from downtown could begin around 2018.
