Building a More Resilient Economy

The mission of the Wyoming Business Council is to support local leaders, businesses, and communities in building strong, sustainable economies through innovative programs, resources, and partnerships. As Sheridan Media reported in a previous story, the WBC has crafted new rules for the state’s largest economic development fund – the Business Ready Community grant and loan program. Wyoming Business Council CEO Josh Dorrell referred to a project in Sheridan that was a direct result of funding from the BRC grant and loan program.

Dorrell said that the WBC is looking to get as much public comment as possible on the new rule changes.

Once again, the deadline to submit comments is Sunday, July 27, 2025, by 11:59 pm mountain time. All comments must be submitted in writing and cannot be anonymous. More information on the changes to the BRC grant and loan program and how you can comment on the new rules can be found here.
