Rawlins County departments present 2027 budget requests; RCED seeks $40,000 from county and Atwood
Summary
Rawlins County Economic Development requested $40,000 from the county and $40,000 from the City of Atwood for 2027 and named an interim director; the Extension Office presented its 2027 request and previewed the July county fair.
Rawlins County Economic Development Vice-President Kelsey Wahrman told commissioners on June 1 that RCED is seeking $40,000 from the City of Atwood and $40,000 from Rawlins County for its 2027 budget. Wahrman said the RCED board hired Ella Eidson as interim director for the summer and that Eidson is interested in the permanent director post after graduating in December 2026.
Extension Director Aaron Hyland presented the Extension Office's 2027 budget request and gave an overview of 2025 activities and preparations for the county fair set for July. Commissioners did not take action on the budget requests during the meeting; budgets will proceed through the county's regular budget process.
Both presenters answered brief procedural questions but did not request a specific county appropriation amount beyond RCED's stated $40,000 ask. Commissioners acknowledged the requests and will consider them in upcoming budget deliberations.
