The Wye is named for the “Y” shaped intersection of Highway 93 and Interstate 90, west of Missoula on the way to Frenchtown. In the last few years, the Wye has been a hotspot of activity, including a new public water system, two targeted economic development districts and the influx of new businesses.

How did this area become primed for growth in the Missoula Valley? Couldn’t a development moratorium help address concerns about affordability and preserving the culture that Missoula is known for? Community and Economic Development Director Andrew Hagemeier joined Josh Slotnick on this episode to answer these questions and more.
