    Bozeman officials are organizing development strategies for a 3,000-acre tract on the city's northwest border to manage anticipated population expansion.

    City leaders in Bozeman are drafting a plan for 3,000 acres of land on the northwest edge of town to prepare for future residential and commercial growth. The study area sits just outside city limits near Oak Street and Baxter Lane, and the plan aims to map out future roads and utilities while protecting local wetlands and creeks. While the city expects to adopt the map this fall, any actual building depends on whether private landowners eventually decide to annex into the city.
