The deadline for applications for job creation and employee training awards as part of the Montana Community Development Block Grant Economic Development program is Wednesday, Dec. 18.
The deadline is to ensure that federal dollars are obligated before the start of 2020.
Funds from the program support businesses with grants to local governments. The program also offers low-interest loans for projects that create and retain jobs and provide job training opportunities.
Each eligible local government jurisdiction may apply once per application cycle for each of the categories of CDBG grants as long as the applicant does not have an open CDBG project that was awarded more than four years ago.
The categories of CDBG grant are community and public facilities, affordable housing development, economic development and planning.
Details and the application form are available at https://comdev.mt.gov.
The typical open application cycle for next year will begin after Dec. 18. For assistance and more information, call program staff at 406-841-2770
