The Flathead National Forest announced on Thursday it will be hosting a community meeting next week in Condon regarding the historic Holland Lake Lodge. The purpose of the meeting is for Flathead National Forest officials to provide information and answer questions to help inform public comment submissions . The meeting will be held on April 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.
m. at the Swan Valley Elementary School in Condon. The Flathead National Forest is currently taking public comment on a permit application for Holland Lake Lodge.
Two businessmen, Eric Jacobsen and Thomas Knowles, are proposing to buy Holland Lake Lodge. They are under contract and have submitted a special use authorization application for the historic resort. The business and lodge buildings are private property that sit on federally-owned public land.
The application is not for an expansion, but rather to operate the lodge within the existing footprint and facilities. The duo will not buy the lodge unless their permit is approved. The supervisor of the Flathead National Forest is proposing granting the permit to Jacobsen and Knowles for 20 years.
Public comments are now being accepted on the application and can be submitted until midnight on May 7. For information on virtually attending the meeting, visit fs.usda.
