Paul Tuss of Havre and Adam de Yong of Helena to administer WIRED grant in Eastern Montana

Paul Tuss of Havre and Adam de Yong of Helena initially will administer the Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development grant that Montana received in February. Permanent positions will be offered within the year.

The $15 million grant is designed to spur the evolution of Montana’s work force through the creation of an innovative biolubricant and bioproduct industry in eastern and central Montana that could include oilseed products, biodiesel and ethanol.

“Economic development in eastern and central Montana is a priority,” said Gov. Brian Schweitzer while announcing the appointments. “This grant will help get dollars on the ground to help revitalize the economy with energy development while adding value to Montana’s agricultural products.”
