APT seeks state and federal support; Aitkin County officials visit company
Summary
Tamara Lowney said APT is pursuing funding from Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation (IRRR), state sources and federal R&D opportunities, and that county commissioners and legislators have toured the facility and shown strong support for the project.
Lowney said APT is pursuing multiple funding avenues to support the ARC and R&D that will follow. She named Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation (IRRR) and state programs and said the company is exploring federal opportunities for research and development, while acknowledging it is challenging to bring outside funding to Aitkin County.
Lowney also emphasized the county’s tangible support: she said commissioners and legislators have taken special tours and attended events at APT and called that support instrumental. "It's been incredible to feel the support we've had, and we certainly wouldn't be moving forward without it," Lowney said of the role elected officials and community partners have played.
