The Montana Department of Commerce has published updated WIRED Application Guidelines on its website

The definition of eligible business applicants has been expanded. Originally, businesses that were principally engaged in the production of bio-products in the WIRED region were eligible applicants for job training grants for new and incumbent workers. The Department of Commerce WIRED program will now also consider assisting manufacturing and energy related businesses in the defined region that create and retain a significant number of jobs, and which conduct business activities and products that are supportive to the development of the bio-product industry in the WIRED region. Examples can be found on page two of the application guidelines.
