Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 30th of July.
Good morning, Great Falls.
💼 Business
Some Great Falls businesses on Sixth Street SW have suffered since MDT closed the northbound lane without proper notice, which dropped Karma Coffee Brewing’s revenue by 60%.
MDT said the contractor asked to speed up work—so the northbound lane will reopen by Sunday, the southbound lane will close until Aug. 12, and the whole project will finish by early to mid-September.
🎭 Culture
Quentin Shores reported from the Montana State Fair where vendors shared their experiences and the challenges they face, demonstrating the event's impact on local business.
Their conversations offered a glimpse into the personal stories behind the fair—reflecting how the event supports community culture.
🏛️ Government
City Commissioners voted 3-2 on July 29 to set a public hearing on Aug.
5 about a proposed ordinance that would ban aerial and explosive fireworks while allowing consumer fireworks — the change will be added to the November ballot only if a majority votes yes.
