Flathead County Commissioners Delay Vote on Luxury Resort Plat
Flathead County Commissioners have postponed a vote on the final plat for phase one of a private luxury resort, known as Territory 1889, in Lakeside, to allow more time for review of water and sewer requirements.

Missoula, MT, September 24, 2026 —
Flathead County Commissioners have opted to postpone a crucial vote concerning the final plat for phase one of a proposed private luxury resort project in Lakeside. The resort, identified as Territory 1889, will have its preliminary approval delayed as commissioners require additional time to thoroughly review the project’s water and sewer requirements.
The decision to postpone the vote was made by the commissioners to ensure that all necessary aspects of the development’s infrastructure are adequately addressed. This includes a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed water supply and sewage disposal systems, which are critical components for any new development, particularly one designated as a luxury resort.
The specific date for the rescheduled vote has not yet been announced. The delay indicates a commitment by the commissioners to a detailed examination of the project’s utility needs before granting final approval for the initial phase of Territory 1889. Further details regarding the review of water and sewer requirements are expected to be made public as the process continues.
