This $2.9 million project grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Economic Adjustment Assistance program will fund equipment purchases to support the creation of an Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Center (AMMC) and co-located Concept Forge Fabrication Lab at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The AMMC and lab will provide education, training, and small business support to develop Wyoming's manufacturing workforce and fill gaps in the regional innovation pathway. Specifically, the AMMC is expected to train an average of nearly 250 future manufacturing employees annually and assist approximately 180 entrepreneurs and small businesses through the lab's prototype development services. Once completed, the project aims to increase employment opportunities and advance economic resiliency in the region. The award was issued on March 8, 2022.
