Over $27 million in federal funding has been allocated for infrastructure projects in Western Montana following President Trump's signing of the Fiscal Year 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriation Bill. This funding will support the replacement of the Noxon Bridge, the Seeley Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant, and various road repairs across six counties.
Key allocations include $10 million for the Noxon Bridge, which is over 100 years old and critical for local connectivity, and $10 million for the Seeley Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant. Congressman Ryan Zinke and Senator Tim Sheehy were instrumental in securing this funding, addressing historical neglect of rural infrastructure.
