Better Transit for Helena

S.A.V.E. has joined a long list of advocacy groups and individuals in support of a Transportation District for the greater Helena area. The Citizen Iniative has gathered the requisite 7,000 signatures to put the issue on Novemember ballot. The formation of the District will improve bus service in Helena, giving citizens better input. To find out more about this initiative, please read our blog posting about it.

Helena Green Blocks Update

The Green Blocks Pilot Project has changed the neighborhood requirement for applications. Instead of applying as a block with your neighbors, you can now apply as an individual household. By making this change, NorthWestern Energy and the City of Helena hope that more households will be able to participate in the program. Applications are due on Wednesday, July 28th. Please read the following letter for more detailed information and important contacts. See the city's website for more information about how to get involved!
