I just finished a couple of stories on the Cut Bank area.  The smoke filled air in Cut Bank is most likely coming from wildfires in Alberta.  Two of the blazes are near oil sands facilities and have been burning for 6 days now. Residents in the Cut Bank have been asking where the smoke is coming from and it appears Alberta is the answer.

The Cut Bank Chamber of Commerce was informed today that they have been awarded a Brownfields Clean up grant of nearly 146-thousand dollars.  The money will be used to remove contaminants, such as asbestos from the former Public Drug building on main St.  Chamber President Jeff Billman says once that is done they should be able to finish construction and find businesses wanting to locate there.

Further details on both stories on our local news tonight and Fri. morning.
