2010 Sign Grant Funded Projects
Signage Grant Program
Wyoming Travel & Tourism (WTT) receives $400,000 each biennium to fund signage projects along Wyoming’s Highways. The purpose of the grant program is to nurture Wyoming’s tourism industry by creating a more visitor friendly and easily accessible destination. The program is a biannual program and provides funds for the following sign categories: Interpretive/Wayside Exhibits, Tourism/Service/Attraction, and Free Form Signs. Any non-profit entity, municipality, tribal government, state and federal agency are eligible to apply for funding.
The grant program is a biannual program. Applications for the 2011 funding cycle are available now to download. Applications are due by May 14, 2010. Please note the following:
- If you are considering nominating an interpretive sign and/or wayside exhibit within Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) right-of-way, you will need to contact the State Historic Preservation Office Monument and Markers Program at 777.6179 first and foremost before applying for WTT funds.
- You must provide a 50-50 cash match of the total cost of your project with the exception of the Tourism/Service/Attraction sign(s). WTT does not provide funds for contract administration, agency requirements, project management, and installation.
