1. Missoula warns development applicants about fake city invoices (fairfieldsuntimes.com) — City of Missoula officials are warning anyone involved in local development projects about convincing phishing emails that mimic real city invoices and payment requests. Scammers are using actual project details and fake email domains to push wire transfers and urgent payments. Residents and contractors are urged to verify any unexpected invoice directly with the city before sending money or opening attachments.
2. UM hosts AI summit to help inform community about future impacts (nbcmontana.com) — Missoula residents can attend a free Montana AI Summit at the University of Montana this week, running through Thursday, to learn how artificial intelligence may affect daily life, work, and local government. Panels and hands-on workshops focus on ethical, human-centered uses of AI, with experts and tech leaders aiming to demystify the technology for anyone curious about its growing role in the community.
3. Mountain Line eyes bus stop improvements (missoulacurrent.com) — Mountain Line is preparing a federal grant application to upgrade bus stops across the Missoula service area with more seating, shelters, benches, and clearer signage. With Missoula County's support, the agency hopes to invest about $4 million to improve comfort, safety, and accessibility for riders. Even without the grant, new route signs with QR codes are planned.
4. A summer spent cooking in the mountains (iastate.edu) — A dietetics student spent her summer cooking for classes at the Rod and Connie French Conservation Education Camp, tucked in the mountains near Missoula. She handled daily breakfasts and dinners, adapted menus to students' tastes and dietary needs, and joined fieldwork and hikes, gaining hands-on experience while discovering what makes living and working in western Montana so rewarding.
