    Town of Hudson grant request under consideration

    The Wyoming Business Council Board of Directors will consider six Business Ready Community (BRC) funding requests during its regular quarterly meeting at the Greybull Recreation District at 527 1st Avenue S in Greybull.

    Business Council staff review each application, conduct site visits, or conference calls in the case of planning grants, and make presentations to a board subcommittee before making final recommendations to the full board.

    Community Enhancement: The Town of Hudson requests a $111,338 grant for the upgrade and renovation of playground equipment and a picnic shelter in the town-owned Svilar Park. A safe, comfortable public place for community members to gather contributes to “place attachment,” which leads to a healthier community.  (Staff recommends funding as requested.)

The SLIB is comprised of the five statewide elected officials: the governor, secretary of state, state auditor, state treasurer and state superintendent of public instruction.
