The Tuesday, Feb. 13, special council meeting in Libby was meant to review its Community Development Fund and the best methods of dispersing the $1.5 million that still exists.

But it turned into a whole lot more following comments by several people, including developer Zach McNew.

McNew, his wife Tracy, along with Libby Lofts partners Scott Curry and Brick Briar’s Bruce Weatherby and Joan Oakland, are seeking $138,000 from the city’s Community Development Fund to begin work on the old high school in the heart of town. Tracy McNew said the total cost is $184,000 and the remainder would be funded by the partners.
