KECI: Senator Tester Tours Missoula Building

MISSOULA, Mont. — Senator Jon Tester and Missoula Mayor Jon Engen toured the Garlington building in downtown Missoula Saturday.

Construction started on the building in 2009 and was financed by a federal tax credit called the “New Market Tax Credit.”

The New Market Tax Credits are designed to boost economic development in communities.

The Garlington building construction put 129 contractors to work and produced more than $5 million in wages.
