The Bear Lake Valley Chamber will be hosting several presentations completed over the past 6 months by a group of students and professors at Utah State University. I recently attended their final project and presentation and am excited to share it with our elected officials, business leaders, and all who have interest in Bear Lake. The study included the geographic area from Montpelier Idaho to Randolph Utah.
Their finished product was compiled from thousands of hours of interview, collaborative discussion with stake holders from elected officials to public land managers to vested residents as their home and or place of business and investment.
The presentation considers trails, infrastructure, community connectivity, preservation of traditions while embracing the continued growth pressures of increase visitorship as well as full time residents. It presents ideas on how to keep Bear Lake clean and preserve its unique ecosystem along with finding ways to allow for economic development and growth of communities.
Please come join me for the next presentation and hopefully the resulting ongoing discussions of how we as vested business owners and residents to this area can be apart of planning and having influence on the changes that are happening and that will continue to happen here in Bear Lake.

Many presentations have been given over the years and the people of the Valley have appreciated the input. We can see from the General Plans for each community how the area has tried to incorporate some of the ideas.

Another interesting article by Bryce Huefner 10 years ago. (He hadn't taken in the effects on the population changes due due to an LDS Temple coming to Montpelier).
