Two DOC planning grants land in Lake County

The Montana Department of Commerce recently awarded several Opportunities in Rural Economies planning grants, including two in Lake County.

“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.”

Lake County recipients are:

Mission West Community Development Partners, Ronan, will receive $20,000 to assist Missoula Electric Cooperative in a feasibility study of an energy efficiency program.

Table 10 Restaurant, Polson, will receive $1,993 for an energy audit.
