Farmers State Bank, represented by Craig Livengood and Melanie Riley, presented a $50,000 pledge from the Farmers State Bank Board of Directors to Tarkio Tech President Johnnie Davis and the Steering Committee in a ceremony held Thursday, December 19, 2024, at The Curnutt Center on the Tarkio Tech campus. The pledge represents a five-year commitment of $10,000 per year for five years and will be invested with the Tarkio College Foundation to be used for capital improvements on the campus. This gift moved Tarkio College past $2.1 million toward the $3 million initial goal of the Heritage Campaign. The school continues to make plans to renovate the existing buildings on campus and to open them up to the community for such things as a coffee shop, cafeteria/restaurant, culinary classroom, daycare with outdoor play area, book/gift/swag shop, professional tool store, a banquet hall, a conference room, and a food prep area. There are many more ideas in the planning phase and these funds and others will help to see these ideas come to life.
