Water and Waste Five rural Wyoming communities received loan and grant assistance this past Fiscal Year under the RUS programs. We worked with several other agencies to make these projects a success including Wyoming Water Development Commission, Wyoming State Lands Investment Board and Housing and Urban Development. These funds helped improve the quality of life for approximately 1,620 Wyoming residents.

It enables citizens of the most isolated communities to have access to the same education and specialized medical technology as the citizens in urban and suburban cities.
Assistance is available through loans, grants, or loan and grant combinations.
