Four Montana Communities Receive Grants toPlan Infrastructure, Community DevelopmentProjects
HELENA – The Montana Department of Commerce announced today that four
Montana communities will share more than $146,000 of grant funding through the
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). The grants will support the
planning of critical infrastructure and community development projects in Montana.
“Commerce’s CDGB planning grants provide funding and technical assistance
to help local governments plan for future growth and development, while
creating and retaining good paying jobs for local workers,” said Montana
Department of Commerce Director Scott Osterman. “The grants will contribute to
major investments these communities must make to successfully expand vitally
needed infrastructure and community development projects.”
CDBG planning grants are awarded to:
Dawson County: $26,500 to complete a preliminary architectural report for the
Eastern Montana Community Health Center.
City of Laurel: $50,000 to complete a zoning regulations analysis and update.
Lincoln County: $50,000 to complete a preliminary architectural report for the
Troy Library and Opportunity Center.
Teton County: $19,875 to complete a growth policy update.
CDBG planning grants are available to eligible counties, cities, towns, and local
governments. Local governments may apply on behalf of special purpose districts,
unincorporated areas, or non-profit organizations. Counties may also apply for
planning grants on behalf of Tribal utility authorities. CDBG funding originates from the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
“CDBG planning grants are a very important tool for Butte-Silver Bow. These
grants have allowed us to plan and execute many projects that have
tremendously benefited the community,” said Karen Byrnes, City-County of Butte-
Silver Bow Community Development Director. “CDBG planning dollars most
recently have assisted in the completion of the Uptown Butte master plan, and a
preliminary architectural report for the construction of permanent supportive
housing, which sets up the project for further competitive grant opportunities.”
