Votes at a glance: Economic Development Board approves two $50,000 allocations
Summary
At its Jan. 28 meeting the EDB approved recommending two $50,000 allocations—one to Project Care (funds available July 1, 2026) and one to Lincoln Primary School’s playground—and completed officer elections and routine minutes approval.
The Anaconda Deer Lodge County Economic Development Board approved two separate $50,000 allocations during its Jan. 28 meeting. The board moved and approved a $50,000 pledge to Project Care (funds to be available July 1, 2026) and approved a $50,000 allocation to Lincoln Primary School’s playground project. Both motions were recorded as approved; the minutes do not record roll-call vote tallies.
The meeting also included routine business: approval of the June 26, 2024 minutes and elections of John Stoppler as chair and Kristy McKay as vice-chair. Board members framed the two allocations differently: Project Care’s pledge was conditioned on Project Care returning with detailed cost estimates and a preferred site plan, while the Lincoln school allocation was advanced to help close a near-term fundraising gap for summer construction. As ADLC CEO Bill Everett put it during discussion, "We need Project Care," reflecting the board’s public sentiment toward maintaining the community safety-net.
