SLIB Board Approves SEEDA Grant Request

The Wyoming Business Council presented three Business Ready Community grant and loan requests to the State Loan and Investment Board at their latest meeting. The SLIB Board unanimously approved all three grant requests. One of the grants approved was the Sheridan Economic and Educational Development Authority’s request for a $4.4 million Community Readiness grant to develop phase two of the Sheridan High-Tech Park. SEEDA Administrator Robert Briggs said the project will include the purchase of 35 acres of property in north Sheridan and the installation of water, sewer, and roadway infrastructure.

The second phase of the high-tech park will be located near the first business park along Yellowtail Drive. The first business park is home to a number of businesses that include Kennon, Weatherby and Vacutech.
