Rehberg Announces $300,000 Grant for Bozeman Native American Groups
WASHINGTON, DC - Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, announced four Native American groups in Bozeman will share a $300,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Rural Community Development program.
“This is a victory for these groups and Bozeman,” Rehberg said. “Native American communities are an integral part of Montana’s history and I will continue to fight for funding that helps these communities.”
The rural development funds will be used to provide technical and financial assistance through the Rural Community Innovation, located in Bozeman.
“Rural Community Innovation (RCI) is pleased that USDA is supporting development of the private sector in Native American communities throughout America,” said Michael Utter, chief executive officer of RCI. “This grant will help ensure private sector, small business development on four reservations in the Western United States.”
