HAILEY - The Blaine County School District learned Thursday it will receive a $4 million grant for a pilot project to heat its schools with geothermal heat.

District officials learned of approval of the matching-funds grant from theU.S. Department of Energy as voters headed to the polls to vote on a $59.8 million plant facilities levy that included the money that would be used to match the grant.
