Wyoming funds construction and project planning
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming authorizes $220.890614 million for capital construction: $133.982017 million general funds, $47 million federal funds, and $39.908597 million other funds. This includes $5.962485 million for project contingencies and $1.2 million for planning studies. Studies cover state fair dormitories, forestry facilities near Newcastle, and Casper College’s industrial technology and health sciences facilities. Remaining study money can fund commission-approved studies only after money is committed to all listed studies. Project amounts are spending caps, not guaranteed spending; agencies must use funds for named projects, subject to authorized adjustments. Funds remain available through completion, then unspent, uncommitted balances return to their source accounts; these rules exclude major maintenance unless specifically stated. Requesting community colleges must match general fund appropriations with at least one private or other nonstate dollar per state dollar.
Wyoming funds public building and campus upkeep
For the two-year period beginning July 1, 2026, the law provides $233.354943 million in general funds for major maintenance. The State Construction Department receives 37.60% for state buildings, sites, and institutions, plus 18.07% for community college facilities. State Parks and Cultural Resources receives 7.99% for its submitted maintenance requests approved by the State Building Commission. The University of Wyoming receives 36.34% for its buildings, facilities, and sites. Its share excludes student housing, the student union, and auxiliary services funded by self-supporting university revenues. All shares must follow the state’s statutory distribution limits; the money supports upkeep, not household payments.
State Fair floor gets private funding
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law allows $2 million in private funding for the State Fair show center floor. This authorization does not provide state money or direct household payments.
Wyoming can buy future prison land
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming can use up to $10 million from its penitentiary construction account for future prison land. Before purchase, the State Construction Department must consult the Office of State Lands and Investments and Department of Corrections. Their review must consider location, price, ground conditions, soil quality, and other factors those agencies identify as relevant. The State Building Commission must approve any purchase.
Wyoming National Guard gets facility funding
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law provides $42 million for Wyoming Army National Guard training barracks. It also provides $10 million for modernization, split equally between state and federal funds. The money supports military facilities or capabilities, not direct household payments.
Wyoming parks and historic sites get funding
Beginning July 1, 2026, State Parks and Cultural Resources receives project funding from its special revenue account. The law provides $6.6 million for Outdoor Recreation and $430,000 for Water Facilities. It also provides $250,000 for the Territorial Prison project and $50,000 for Quebec 01 Facilities. These funds support state projects, not household payments.
Central Wyoming College gets project funding
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law authorizes $4.086049 million in private funding for Central Wyoming College’s industrial facility renovation. No state appropriation is stated for that renovation. The Jackson project receives $750,000 in state funding, requiring at least one private dollar for each state dollar spent. Its listed $750,000 private contribution brings the project amount to $1.5 million. These funds support college projects, not household payments.
Laramie County college gets renovation funding
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law funds four Laramie County Community College renovations. The science center receives $4.397855 million state funds and $3.546658 million authorized private funds, totaling $7.944513 million. The Crossroads Building receives $4.298887 million state funds and $3.466844 million authorized private funds, totaling $7.765731 million. The community center receives $4.178114 million state funds and $3.369447 million authorized private funds, totaling $7.547561 million. The automotive technology renovation has $4.435824 million in authorized private funding, with no state appropriation stated. These amounts fund college facilities, not payments to students.
Northwest College gets science renovation funding
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law provides $15.194676 million in state funds for Northwest College District’s science building renovation. It also authorizes $12.253775 million in private funding, bringing the project amount to $27.448451 million. The money funds the college facility, not direct payments to students.
Gillette college funding requires property tax levy
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law provides $6 million for Gillette College’s Enzi Applied Learning Center. The college can spend state funds only with a four-mill property tax levy and at least an equal nonstate match. The listed $6 million nonstate contribution brings the project amount to $12 million. The levy can increase property taxes for taxpayers in the college’s taxing district by up to four mills. This is project funding, not a payment to students.
Cody shooting complex funding has offsets
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law identifies the State Shooting Complex near Cody using the August 8, 2024 task-force recommendation. It allows up to $2.5 million from each of two existing balances, or less if unavailable, totaling up to $5 million. The Joint Powers Board directs spending through State Parks and Cultural Resources under their September 3, 2025 agreement. Funds can pay only agreement costs, cannot be transferred elsewhere, and remain available across fiscal periods unless lawmakers reduce or prohibit spending. Any appropriation to the complex account in 2026 House Bill 0001 or Senate File 0001 reduces this authority dollar-for-dollar. Unspent, uncommitted funds not authorized for spending return to their source accounts.
Veterans’ home remodel has funding offsets
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law provides $87 million to remodel the Veterans’ Home of Wyoming. Up to $500,000 of its general funds can pay for a qualified representative overseeing the project for the state. Federal receipts for state-run veterans’ homes must replenish the Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account up to the corresponding general funds spent under this law. Each additional federal dollar beyond that deposit reduces the capital appropriation by one dollar. The law funds the facility, not direct payments to residents.
