Bozeman received $6.3 million, and other southwest Montana recipients included Belgrade, Butte, Ennis, Helena, Livingston, Manhattan, Virginia City and West Yellowstone. “It’s all COVID-related. The whole point of this money was to try to help America get through the pandemic impacts,” Montana ARPA Program Director Mike Foster told KBZK.
