Voices from the Community

The NMTC provided a funding gap allowing completion of project plans. For the Fort Peck Tribes it meant installation of a parking lot, exterior lighting, stormwater drainage, and furnishings for a building that consolidated social services, education, and manpower development providing services to low-income people on Fort Peck Reservation.

Montana Community Development Corporation (Montana CDC) completed its first NMTC transaction in Indian Country to finance a new government administration building on the Fort Peck Reservation. The new facility consolidated the Fort Peck Tribal Government’s offices in Poplar, making it easier for tribal members to access new and enhanced service offerings, and enabling the Tribe to hire five additional people. Collaboration between several partners brought the project to reality. Montana CDC provided $7.4 million in NMTC allocation, while US Bank Community Development Corporation provided a tax credit equity investment and US Bank provided a construction loan. The new building houses social, medical, employment, education, and natural resource services.

The NMTC transaction also provided funds for an innovative grant program that will enhance the quality of the Tribe’s food assistance program and increase the amount of food provided to low-income residents. ‘Fort Peck’s new facility makes it easier for tribal members to access critical services that improve their quality of life and open up job opportunities. Montana succeeds when Indian Country succeeds, and I’ll keep working to make sure Montana CDC can access resources to support all of Montana’s communities,’ said US Senator Jon Tester, a longtime supporter of NMTCs.
