State board approves economic development grants

The Wyoming State Loan and Investment Board has approved about $8 million in grants to help communities around the state with economic development and community projects. The board on Thursday approved $4 million in Business Ready Community grant requests and $4.4 million in Community Facility Program grants. The largest grant awarded was $2.25 million to Laramie County to help expand a data center. It also approved $1.5 million to improve a 12-mile road in Sweetwater County that leads to a planned uranium mine. The State Loan and Investment Board is made up of the five statewide elected officials: Gov. Matt Mead, Secretary of State Max Maxfield, State Treasurer Mark Gordon, State Auditor Cynthia Cloud, and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill.

  1. Hope the grants supposed for all those improvements presuppose certain salaries increase for those working for that or these project. I know quite a lot of families from these counties applying for fast pay day loan online to get through the rough period, but some extra means will solve their problems, even if the amount is not large.
