State Infrastructure Matching Funds

In an effort to bring more federal funds from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) back to the State of Wyoming, the Wyoming Legislature has appropriated $75 million to the Governor’s Office in a State Infrastructure Matching Fund. These dollars are available, at the discretion of the Governor, to be used by the State of Wyoming or its political subdivisions for the purpose of qualifying for IIJA grants. The Legislature did also add the following conditions: 

The State of Wyoming has established a State Infrastructure Matching Funds application, as well as guidelines regarding project eligibility and a protocol for funding approval. These are being managed by the Wyoming Department of Administration and Information (A&I). 

If you are interested in receiving State Infrastructure Matching Funds to use in your application for an IIJA grant or have any questions about the State Infrastructure Matching Funds, please contact Russ Noel, russell.noel@wyo.gov, with A&I.
