Lone Mountain Land Company President Matt Kidd opened the company’s annual open house community forum on June 9 with a posed question to the audience: who is recruiting full-time, Big Sky residents to strengthen our year-round community? That question set the tone for a broad community update that touched on housing progress, stalled school enrollment, childcare capacity and the long-term vision for Town Center.
