Montana Commerce Director Announces 19 Infrastructure Planning Grant Awards

Nineteen Montana communities will share more than $275,000 in planning grants through the Montana Department of Commerce’s Treasure State Endowment Program (TSEP) to support the development of infrastructure projects.

“Every community needs clean drinking water, safe bridges and good water treatment systems,” Montana Department of Commerce Director Tara Rice said. “These TSEP grants support the planning of infrastructure projects that are vital to the future of Montana communities.” 

The state funded TSEP program supports local governments with the development of infrastructure plans. The project phase of the program assists local governments with drinking water system upgrades, wastewater treatment facilities, sanitary or storm sewer systems, solid waste disposal and separation systems, and bridges.
