As a direct result of his bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, U.S. Senator Jon Tester last week secured $15,919,854 through the Secure Rural Schools program to invest in Montana’s public schools, roads and other municipal services.

Tester worked with five Republicans and four Democrats to negotiate the IIJA and was the only member of Montana’s Congressional delegation to vote for the bill. The Secure Rural Schools program was reauthorized and funded through Tester’s IIJA.

Lincoln County is set to receive slightly more than $4 million.
