Automating Production of a Modified Blow-Fill-Seal Applicator Unit-Dose Vial

Bonner and Boundary Counties, Idaho, are rural areas in transition. The people in these areas currently rely on increasingly fewer timber and forestry jobs as well as low-paying, seasonal tourist industry positions. The purpose of this project is to foster critically needed economic development in a chronically depressed rural region by leveraging and expanding technology-based entrepreneurial activities already underway. The project will have a significant and lasting impact in stabilizing these rural economies.
