The boundaries shown herein depict the extents of various master, strategic, and other planning-based documents, which have been approved by the City of Missoula City Council.The Business Improvement District (BID) is authorized by Title 7, Chapter 12 of Montana Code Annotated. The Missoula City Council resolution number 6898 created the City of Missoula BID on April 4, 2005, providing for an initial five-year period. Subsequent resolutions passed on March 22, 2010 (resolution 7511) and on 2/3/2020 (resolution 8411), each providing for ten-year extensions. The BID is funded through assessments to properties located within the district.The purpose of the BID is to promote the health, safety, prosperity, security, and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Missoula and the BID, the people of the State of Montana, and to provide special benefit to the properties located within the boundaries of the BID. The BID is governed by the Business Improvement District Board of Trustees, which is comprised of seven members. Members consist of a representative from each of the five different zones, an at-large representative, and a staff-appointed member. Board members must be property owners in the BID and the positions are non-paying.

Missoula's first URD was created downtown in 1978. As a result of MRA's success in revitalizing that area, subsequent districts have been formed in other parts of Missoula.

Outside of this boundary, development decisions are not made with respect to the City’s Growth Policy.
