MT City School must rethink well project

Montana City School is rethinking an infrastructure project after receiving only a fraction of the funding it sought from a one-time-only Montana Department of Commerce program.

“It was great to find out we were a grant recipient, but the amount awarded is only one-third of the estimated cost of the project as designed,” Montana City School Superintendent Tony Kloker said by email.

The school sought $229,750 for a $254,750 project to install a new well and well house due to the contamination of its existing well. It was awarded a grant of $74,529.
