Helena Housing: East Helena’s Rose Hills neighborhood is entering final financing planning, with a proposed bond up to $17.5 million to cover off-site infrastructure for the mixed-income development. Agriculture: Heat and smoke are already affecting local produce, with farmers reporting crops like bok choy and lettuce bolting and slowing growth. Community Events: The Western Montana Fair returns July 31–Aug. 8 in Missoula with free daily admission and local music.
