(a) Only counties and incorporated cities and towns may apply. However, local governments may apply on behalf of other units of governments or special interest groups. The cities of Cheyenne and Casper are not eligible to apply since funds are available to them under the HUD Entitlement Program. However, Laramie and Natrona counties may apply on behalf of a project located within the municipal boundaries of Cheyenne and Casper respectively, if it can be demonstrated the benefits of the project are available on a countywide basis.
(b) All applicants must certify that each project has allowed citizen comment through the public hearing process before submission to the Wyoming Business Council. (Refer to Section 11, Citizen Participation, for further information).
(c) All applications must be accompanied by a resolution passed by the city or town council or the county commissioners and signed by the chief elected official.
(d) Joint applications from two or more eligible applicants are permissible.
(e) Economic development applications will be considered from counties and incorporated cities and towns on behalf of specific businesses. The sponsoring entity must demonstrate particular benefit accruing to that entity as a result of the grant. This benefit must pertain to one of the three national objectives listed in Chapter 1, Section 3.
