Building boom could be boon to Montana education

February 17, 2008View for printing

Builder Ron Bartsch (406) 495-9663 has thrown down his hammer. The owner of Sussex Construction http://www.helenabia.com/html/parade ... ents_01.php is giving $100 to the Helena Education Foundation http://www.hefmt.org/ for every lot he sells or home he builds, and he’s challenging other area builders to do the same.

“If our industry builds about 400 homes per year in the Helena area, we have a good opportunity to raise some serious money for this organization,” he said. “We believe in our community, we’re builders, we should be helping to build our community.”

Bartsch took his idea to the board of the Helena Building Industry Association http://www.helenabia.com/ , and others were quick to join.

HEF, which is always looking for synergies with local businesses, loves the idea.
