Additional Hotel development for Hi-way 2 corridor in Libby.

City and county officials will be reviewing 3 additional hotel developments next year for the area around Libby in a response to a shortage of rooms in the mountain community. " This is a great win for Libby", an city official said, "It brings the opportunity to encourage people to stay and play in Libby". Currently Libby has around 120 rooms resulting in around 15,000 hotels stays per year. "The need for updated and newer rooms in critical for this recreational community".

Every year for the past 6 years, a cycling event (STOKR), has to limit registration due to the availability of rooms around Libby. " Its going to open up registration to our event". Several yearly events typically add pressured to the hotel availability in Libby. Recent attendance to NordictFest and Ignite the Nights have proved extremely popular.

" I look forward to having my family up every year" , said Libby resident Kim Richards, " More rooms during our big events would make it easier to have additional family member visit".

Henderson Properties just completed a Holiday Inn Express outside of Sand Point. When asked about possible development along Hi-way 2 a spokesperson said, " Its an undeserved corridor,( Idaho to Whitefish - along Hi-way 2), "we don't commit on future plans, but its something we are looking at".

"Even during the current economic down turn we have seen an increase in visits to Libby. We will continue to provide the best recreational and natural experience".

And the air is not safe to breathe.Called Tremolite asbestos exposure.You forgot to mention that Mr.Libby...How come?

Because of all of the issues we have in libby... past asbestos contamination is no longer on the list. Just like you, (remember - you dont live here anymore), we have moved on and improved our community with the help of the EPA. So sorry you don't get that.

Past exposure never left Libby Mr.Chambers.The trees are just full of Tremolite.The banks of the River and all the creeks is lined with Tremolite asbestos and each time the train rolls in and out, ALL of Libby is recontaminated and all are reexposed.Don't take a rocket scientist to figure that out...once you get past the lies.The other day I drove by Rainy Creek and all of a sudden there was this BIG GUST of wind, not quite a micro burst but maybe 30 to 40 MPH and all I could see was the dust,sky FULL of Tremolite asbestos all heading down Rainy Creek and to the River and then into town.I was just awful Dusty.Kinda like you...And the Parker property is so contaminated like everything else that all those millions are for nothing.That home across the river, you all killed them and I can't believe you would allow this after all of the Parkers are sick and dying.Oh I forgot Money is the issue in Libby and killing more people is not.I do hope Dusty that someday all of you will be held accountable for what you do...Please do not move to Libby anyone, this town is a death town full of heartless people.Heartless.EPA also hasn't stopped killing people which they began in the 70's.Libby is a town of test rats.
