Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Wyoming's Park GrantsWyoming's diverse landscapes, from the Grand Teton National Park to the rolling hills of the prairie, make its parks a vital part of the state's identity and economy. The Grants to Support Building, Maintaining, Restoring and Providing More Equitable Access to Parks program, funded by the Banking Institution, aims to enhance these outdoor spaces. To achieve this, it's essential to understand the priority outcomes for Wyoming.The Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites, and Trails department is a key agency in this context, overseeing numerous parks and recreational areas across the state. One of the primary goals of this grant program is to improve access to these parks, particularly in rural areas where outdoor recreation is a significant contributor to the local economy.
