The Ekalaka Eagle - Your Community Builder

Governor Greg Gianforte recently announced the state is accepting applications for $5 million in grant funding to assist tourism reliant businesses impacted by flooding in Carbon, Park, and Stillwater Counties.

Gianforte said. “Folks who rely on visitors for business are hurting, and these funds will help get them back on their feet as their communities recover and rebuild.”
