Sen. Burns secures millions for Missoula projects

Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., said Friday he hopes more than $13 million in federal money for Missoula businesses and organizations will kick-start the city’s economy.

The money is Missoula’s share of more than $194 million Burns secured for Montana-specific businesses in the Omnibus Appropriations Act.

As a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and chairman of the Subcommittee on Interior Appropriations, Burns played a significant role in the creation of the $388 billion spending bill.

The money he secured for Missoula will go toward existing projects and upgrades at Community Medical Center, Missoula International Airport, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the University of Montana.
