BigRock Mountain: $2,538,800 grant from the US Department of Commerce Economic DevelopmentBig Rock is excited to announce the award of a $2,538,800 grant from the US Department of Commerce Economic Development. This announcement is for a much bigger/more transformative project than the chairlift campaign that was kicked off last December. Upgrades include the chairlift, quadrupling snowmaking output, and upgrading mountain-wide infrastructure to support future developments with a total project cost of $5 million. The EDA Grant along with the $1.25 million raised from local donations puts Big Rock at 75% raised of the total project cost. Big Rock is continuing to apply to federal and private grants and will continue fundraising to reach the total goal. |
