Anaconda Restoration Association [ARA] Receives Generous Grant from the Anaconda Community Foundation [ACF] to Fund Heating System Upgrade in the Historic ‘Montana’. Anaconda, Montana – November 22, 2024 -Anaconda Restoration Association is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a generous grant from the Anaconda Community Foundation to fund the installation of a new heating/ac system in the historic Montana. The grant, totaling $40,000.00 will help preserve the building’s rich heritage while improving comfort and sustainability for visitors and our community members. The new heating/ac system will replace the outdated equipment currently in place and estimated aged between 35-50 years, ensuring that The Montana, which dates back to 1888, continues to serve the community for generations to come. The installation of the modern, energy-efficient system will not only enhance the building’s functionality but also help protect its historical integrity by maintaining a stable climate within the structure. “The Anaconda Community Foundation is incredibly proud to partner with ARA in this project,” said Lydia Janosko, Director of ACF. “This grant will address a critical need while preserving the historic charm of The Montana. We’re excited about the improvements this project will bring and the positive impact it will have on our community.” The grant funding from the Anaconda Community Foundation ensures that The Montana will continue to serve as a cultural and historical landmark in Anaconda. The Montana is not just a building; it is a living testament to the spirit of Anaconda and the town’s history. The building is a historical landmark and is a place of community pride. The project is expected to begin in January, 2025. ARA is committed to using local contractors and suppliers for the project, supporting the regional economy while ensuring quality workmanship.
