Sheridan County briefed on courthouse-security grant opportunity, $333,800 total project example
Summary
Staff said the Wyoming Courthouse Security Commission allocated funds regionally; Sheridan County's baseline package would be $300,420 in state funds with a $33,003.80 county match (90/10 split). The grant opens June 1 and must be completed by June 30, 2028.
County staff told commissioners that the Wyoming Courthouse Security Commission has set aside funds regionally and that Sheridan County's baseline allocation based on the assessment would be $300,420 with a $33,003.80 local match, a 90/10 split. The staff member said the grant application is based on an assessment and that the award process is not competitive in the traditional sense: counties may follow the assessment to receive the base amount or propose justified alternatives for consideration.
The grant application window runs from June 1 to Aug. 31, with award letters expected in September, and all work must be completed by June 30, 2028. Staff emphasized the match must be cash (not in-kind) and suggested possible funding from general-fund equity or courthouse-repair reserves. No signatures were required at the May 11 meeting; staff presented the timeline as a heads-up.
