The board will make a decision on the proposed rule changes that would change award and match amounts, change the frequency of applications being accepted and make other revisions to public participation requirements.
The Business Council will review the following six applications, totaling $275,250. Applications are from Baggs, Cokeville, Platte County, Riverton, Saratoga and Teton County.
The board will review Laramie’s application for $295,533 in Community Development Block Grant funding to assist McCarty Motors with paving, curb and gutter to aid with the business’ expansion. The board will also review staff’s recommendation to extend a grant award for the construction of a new Jackson visitor center and changes to the project. In January 2009, Jackson was awarded a $500,000 Business Ready Community grant to construct a new visitor’s center at the Home Ranch parking lot. The facility would house the Jackson Chamber of Commerce. The project has since changed in size and will not include space for the chamber of commerce.
