(Butte – Isreal Hale) At the beginning of the year, Butte-Silver Bow County was awarded a $20 million grant by the Environmental Protection Agency for a community recreation center, but the grant was subsequently canceled.
Now, Butte-Silver Bow County officials say that they’re still fighting for the best interests of the community as they make an appeal.
The grant is part of about $1.6 billion in grants that were canceled across the United States by the Trump Administration in May. City officials called the loss of funding disheartening.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available. This story was first reported by KXLF in Butte.
