Defense bill earmarks $55 million for Montana projects
More than $14 million is earmarked for Bozeman projects in the $636 billion defense spending bill just passed by the U.S. Senate.
Saying the money will “create jobs in Bozeman while making America more secure,” Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester, D-Mont., announced funding for five local businesses and one program at Montana State University.
They are on a list of 18 Montana projects slated to receive more than $55 million.
Ligocyte Pharmaceuticals http://www.ligocyte.com/ will get $3.6 million to help develop a vaccine against the stomach flu virus, which disabled an aircraft carrier’s flight crews during the first Iraq war and remains a threat to troops in places like training centers.
S2 Corp. http://www.s2corporation.com/ , will get $1.76 million from the defense bill for its work on a new technology that may someday help find and identify hidden roadside bombs.
