Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes in Wyoming: Focusing on Rural Development and Economic Diversification Wyoming's unique landscape and economy present distinct challenges and opportunities for grant-funded projects. As the state with the lowest population density in the country, Wyoming's rural development and economic diversification are critical areas of focus. The Wyoming Business Council and the Wyoming Department of Agriculture are key state agencies that support initiatives aimed at fostering economic growth and development. The state's economy is heavily reliant on the energy sector, which has experienced fluctuations in recent years. As a result, there is a need for projects that promote diversification and support the growth of other industries, such as tourism and agriculture. Wyoming's rural areas, including those in the frontier counties, face unique challenges in terms of access to resources and infrastructure. Projects that address these challenges and support the development of rural communities are a priority. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wyoming has seen a significant shift in its economy, with a decline in tourism and energy production. The Wyoming COVID-19 Relief Program has provided support to businesses and individuals affected by the pandemic. Projects that build on this effort and support the state's recovery are essential. The Wyoming Small Business Development Center, which provides resources and support to small businesses, is another key player in the state's economic development efforts. ## Target Outcomes for Wyoming Grants When evaluating grant applications, priority will be given to projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of Wyoming's unique challenges and opportunities. Target outcomes for these grants include: Projects that support the development of rural communities, including initiatives that improve access to resources and infrastructure. For example, projects that enhance broadband connectivity in rural areas or support the development of local businesses. Initiatives that promote economic diversification, including projects that support the growth of industries such as tourism, agriculture, and technology. The Wyoming Technology Business Center, which provides support to tech startups, is an example of an organization that is working to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the state. Projects that address the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including initiatives that support small businesses and individuals affected by the pandemic. The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, which provides support to workers who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, is another key agency that is working to address the pandemic's impacts. ## Measuring Success in Wyoming To measure the success of grant-funded projects in Wyoming, applicants will be required to track and report on specific outcomes, including the number of jobs created or retained, the number of businesses supported, and the impact on rural communities. The Wyoming Business Council's grant reporting requirements will provide a framework for tracking these outcomes. Q: What types of projects are most likely to be funded in Wyoming?
