| HELENA, MT -- Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, today announced Economic Development Administration grants totaling $815,000 have been awarded to the City of Shelby and to Mountainview Medical Center in White Sulphur Springs.
“We continue to work closely with the Department of Commerce. I’m delighted to see the department’s Economic Development Administration approve these grants,” Rehberg said. A $500,000 grant to the Northern Express Transportation Authority in Shelby will provide construction of railroad siding, loading and reloading facilities to enhance the Port of Northern Montana. The project also includes construction of city streets and railroad crossings at the facility. “With both freight and passenger operations, the Port of Northern Montana in Shelby has become the region’s premier rail-truck transfer center,” Rehberg said. Also today, a $315,000 grant has been awarded to Mountainview Medical Center in White Sulphur Springs for renovations, including a one-story addition to the facility. Mountainview is a non-profit, general medical and surgical hospital serving Meagher County. "I’m proud of the work they do in the community. Offering both inpatient and outpatient specialized services in addition to its 24/7 emergency department, Mountainview Medical Center is one of Central Montana’s most important medical facilities," Rehberg said. |
