Fairgrounds director says matched grant was denied over seating-capacity criteria
Summary
Fairgrounds Director Kimber Solberg reported a matched grant application was denied because it failed seating-capacity requirements; she said the funding likely went to Cheyenne Frontier Days, the only applicant meeting the criteria.
Kimber Solberg, Fairgrounds Director, told commissioners that a matched grant application the fairgrounds submitted was denied because it did not meet seating-capacity criteria. Solberg said she pursued last-minute options but the application ultimately failed to meet the program's requirements and that most of the funding likely went to Cheyenne Frontier Days, which met the criteria.
Chairwoman Christi Haswell acknowledged the limited options and expressed hope for more accessible programs in the future. Solberg said she will continue seeking grant opportunities and will attend the upcoming grant class to improve future applications.
