Description
The Countywide Consensus (CWC) program, administered by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments (OSLI), funds capital improvements through county block allocations. The State Loan and Investment Board (SLIB) awards grants based on certified countywide project lists and available funding. The program supports construction, replacement, and improvement of fixed assets and public service facilities, including major building and facility repairs.
Eligible public service facilities include water and sewer infrastructure, storm drainage, roads, solid waste facilities, emergency vehicles, public administration buildings, health care facilities, senior centers, detention facilities, and facilities serving people with disabilities. Major repairs may include replacing substantial building systems, accessibility improvements, and fire suppression systems. Routine maintenance and repair do not qualify as capital projects.
