The land and water conservation fund (lwcf) state and local assistance program provides matching grants to develop parks owned by states and local communities

The Department of the Interior National Park Service awarded $418,871.56 to the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916) on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2028. The award supports park infrastructure improvements at Greybull City Park in Greybull, Wyoming, serving the general public through enhanced recreational facilities. Funding is derived from offshore oil and gas lease revenues rather than federal tax dollars, consistent with Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program structure.

The State Parks and Cultural Resources Wyoming department subaward resources to the Town of Greybull to repurpose and repair the tennis and basketball courts at Greybull City Park. This project implements improvements to publicly owned recreation infrastructure, advancing outdoor recreation objectives aligned with Wyoming's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. The subaward to the local municipality, effective October 20, 2025, demonstrates the typical LWCF State and Local Assistance Program structure whereby state agencies serve as primary grant recipients and distribute funds to political subdivisions for direct project implementation.

Based on its outdoor recreation priorities, the state has selected grant projects to receive lwcf funding. Lwcf grants are made pursuant to 54 U.S.C. 2003 and are funded by offshore oil and gas lease revenue, not tax dollars. In this project, the wyoming department of state parks and cultural resources will make a subaward to the town of greybull for developments at greybull city park. This project will benefit the general public.
