CSKT receives Tribal Business Development Grant
The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes will receive a Tribal Business Development Grant for $150,600 from the Montana Department of Commerce. The funds help finance an office and small retail space at the Tribes' meat-processing plant in Ronan.
According to Janet Camel, planning director for CSKT’s Economic Development Office, the processing plant isn’t expected to open until January 2026.
The Tribes received a $7.7 million Indigenous Animals Harvesting and Meat Processing Grant last June from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help finance the project. That grant will fund a 3,000-square-foot plant in Ronan designed to process up to 25 animals a week. The three-acre building site is located along Mink Lane.
