Good morning, Butte.

Action Inc. is working with NorthWestern Energy to help low-income families in six Southwest counties weatherize older homes by sealing drafts and adding insulation—both homeowners and renters may apply if they meet income rules and receive help like SNAP or TANF.

The program, part of LIHEAP, aims to ease heating costs during winter.

The board approved a one-off $300K award to the new Monteriors store in Butte, which offers flooring, custom countertops, cabinets, window coverings and appliances.

Evidence suggests the largest privately owned data center company in the U.S. is secretly planning a second facility in Montana + hints indicate Butte may be the site, though the project details remain unconfirmed.

A recent article shows Montana ranks 9th nationwide for harsh winters with heavy snow, freezing temperatures, and bitter winds across its over 73,000 miles of roads—residents are advised to winterize vehicles and bolster home insulation for safety.

Montana is known for its tasty steaks and a new guide reveals the best steakhouses serving popular cuts like Ribeye and Filet.

The guide covers both fancy restaurants and rustic spots — a variety of choices for steak fans.
