Grant Overview

Wyoming's outdoor recreation economy is a significant contributor to the state's GDP, but developing and maintaining recreation infrastructure comes with substantial costs. The state's rugged terrain and harsh climate make trail construction and maintenance particularly expensive, with costs per mile often exceeding national averages by 300%. The Outdoor Recreation Development grant program aims to support the development of outdoor recreation infrastructure, including trails, parks, and other facilities, to boost local economies and promote environmental stewardship. Wyoming's frontier counties face unique challenges in developing recreation infrastructure, with limited local government resources and a sparse population base. Unlike neighboring Colorado, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to its frontier county designation, making it essential for applicants to demonstrate a deep understanding of local conditions. The grant program will prioritize projects that leverage public-private partnerships to deliver infrastructure improvements, promoting economic development while minimizing the financial burden on local governments. Wyoming's major industry, extractive energy, has historically dominated the state's economy, but outdoor recreation is increasingly recognized as a vital component of economic diversification. The state's infrastructure, including transportation networks and broadband access, plays a critical role in supporting outdoor recreation development. By investing in recreation infrastructure, Wyoming can promote sustainable economic growth, preserve its natural heritage, and enhance the quality of life for residents. Wyoming's demographic characteristics, including a relatively low population density and a high percentage of rural residents, also influence the development of outdoor recreation infrastructure. The grant program will support projects that address these unique challenges and opportunities.
