Our mission is to serve the member counties of Montana by monitoring legislative issues that impact them while also providing a forum for discussion of various local concerns and issues as well as supplying the counties and their personnel with education and assistance.
We invite you to take a casual mid-morning break with MACo, which includes updates on everything in our wheelhouse (that can be stated within legal parameters, of course).
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is rapidly deploying a grant portal to award Better Local Bridge (BLB) funds for off-system bridge repairs. The BLB Administrative Rules were recently developed, and it was determined there is an opportunity to award up to $3 million to communities this grant cycle if we move quickly. The timeline is tight, but MDT has streamlined the application process to help meet the obligation deadline.
