Congratulations to Grant Recipients

The Department of Commerce announced its Opportunities in Rural Economies (ORE) planning grant recipients, and we’re thrilled that two entities in Montana’s Yellowstone Country have been selected. Gallatin Development Corporation, Inc., dba Prospera, received $30,000 to develop a center feasibility study in Manhattan, MT. Northern Rocky Mountain Economic Development District will also receive $30,000 to develop a housing fund feasibility study.

“The ORE Program plays a vital role in creating good-paying jobs, stimulating economic growth, helping businesses grow and building a solid economic foundation for future generations of Montanans,” said Marta Bertoglio, director of the Montana Department of Commerce. “By using these grants to complete projects they would otherwise have to wait years to fund, these businesses and nonprofits move Montana forward.”

Congratulations to all the recipients!
