Lincoln County approves $4.01 million sewer grant and signals willingness to partner on housing infrastructure
Summary
The Board of Lincoln County Commissioners approved a $4,008,020 Wyoming Business Council grant to build a county sewer project and authorized a letter indicating willingness to enter a future agreement with Iron Guard Housing to construct a private package treatment plant adjacent to the county sewer facility.
Lincoln County commissioners unanimously approved a $4,008,020 grant agreement with the Wyoming Business Council on April 21 to fund a county sewer project outlined in the agreement's attachment.
Mary Crosby, the county grants writer, presented the BRC agreement and said the funds would be used to undertake the sewer project described in the contract. Commissioner Melvin Shumway moved to approve the agreement; the motion passed unanimously.
Crosby also asked the board to authorize sending a letter indicating the county’s willingness to enter a future agreement, if necessary, with Iron Guard Housing to allow the company to design, fund and construct a private package treatment plant on land immediately adjacent to the county’s planned sewer facility. The board approved the letter of willingness.
Crosby reported additional property and permitting work tied to related logistics: the county approved renewal of Temporary Use Permit (TUP 03638) and paid the $150 Office of State Lands & Investments fee to allow Horrocks access to state land to assess the rail at the Sage Junction property.
The approvals are procedural steps toward construction and site assessment; the board did not adopt final construction contracts at the meeting. Commissioners agreed to interview the top-ranked firms for other grants (SS4A) as a separate procurement step. Treasurer Greenfield and staff reported that the county holds Impact Mitigation Funds of $518,886.03 that may be available for related uses, but specific allocations were not decided at the meeting.
The board’s action authorizes county staff to proceed with grant execution and preliminary coordination with Iron Guard Housing; subsequent agreements or contract awards would require separate approvals.
