IRONWOOD — Copper Peak came out a big winner in the state budget bill passed Friday morning by the Michigan Legislature.

A grant of $10 million was appropriated for renovation projects at Copper Peak and Pine Mountain. The grant will be awarded proportionately, according to Bob Jacquart, fundraising co-chair for Copper Peak. Since the Copper Peak renovation project is estimated at $15 million to $18 million and the Pine Mountain project is estimated at about $2 million, Copper Peak is expected to get the lion’s share of the funds.
