In what some in this unincorporated gateway community of about 875 people are calling a once-in-a-generation opportunity, a diverse array of players is set to announce an agreement that will guide a cooperative effort to improve and revitalize the North Gate to Yellowstone National Park.
Representatives from local, state and federal agencies will join nonprofit and business leaders in Gardiner on Thursday to sign a memorandum of understanding that will lay the framework for the Gardiner Gateway Project, a series of improvements and new construction aimed at improving public safety and visitor experiences at the North Gate.
The Gardiner Gateway Project envisions a series of infrastructure improvements to be completed in time for the 2016 centennial of the National Park Service.
