Big Sky Economic Development http://www.bigskyeconomicdevelopment.org/ dipped into its piggybank Thursday to contribute $50,000 to four community projects that show promise for creating jobs and improving health care.

Steve Arveschoug, executive director of Big Sky Economic Development, said the contribution, from the organization’s opportunity fund, represents an investment in an essential part of the economy.

The health care sector accounts for about 30 percent of the local economy, he said, during a news conference.
