• Community review underway in East Helena (krtv.com) — East Helena residents are being asked right now to help shape how their rapidly growing city develops through a multi-phase community review process. Survey responses and listening sessions have already highlighted priorities like preserving small-town character, improving infrastructure, and creating gathering spaces, including input that could influence the design of a new library by JFK Park. More chances to get involved are expected when the review team returns in July.
