IRONWOOD - U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Rural Development Glen R. Smith announced Thursday a $170,376 grant to improve safety and provide avalanche protection for Copper Peak, Inc., in Gogebic County. Copper Peak, Inc. will use the grant to purchase and install an avalanche protection net system across the full surface of the concrete landing hill slab of Copper Peak. The recipient is contributing $92,687 in matching funds to complete the project.

Total project cost is $263,063.  The funds were provided through the Rural Business Development Grants program, which is designed to provide technical assistance and training for small rural businesses. The grants may be made to a public entity, an Indian Tribe, or a nonprofit entity primarily serving rural areas.
