Ranchester Town Hall

Ranchester Town Hall, a U.S. local government municipality in Ranchester, Wyoming, receives federal transportation grants as a sub-recipient through the Wyoming Department of Transportation, not as a prime grantee or federal contractor. The entity has no prime federal contract or grant awards; all four of its federal awards in the source data are sub-awards, representing one hundred percent sub-recipient positioning.

Ranchester Town Hall's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. The entity acts exclusively as a sub-recipient under federal transportation grants issued to Wyoming DOT, with three of four awards sourced from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. Work has centered on two multiuse pathway projects along U.S. Highway 14. The first, approved through the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) in February 2022, involved design work for a multiuse pathway between Ranchester and Dayton; a follow-on construction award in February 2025 directed Ranchester to build the pathway itself along Highway 14 from Middle School Drive to Echo Drive. The entity also received a sub-award in November 2022 for IT infrastructure — network server, physical backup, off-site backup, and wireless network upgrades with required sensors — though the grantor agency for that award is not named in the source.

Activity has been sparse and episodic. Ranchester received one award in 2020, two in 2022, and one in 2025, with combined dollars obligated of $1.3 million across all four awards. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration accounts for 75 percent of the recent award count. As a municipality, Ranchester Town Hall operates outside the federal contracting ecosystem — it holds no GWAC seats, BPA memberships, or GSA Schedule positions — and does not compete for federal contracts as a prime. The entity's federal presence consists entirely of sub-recipient capacity under state transportation and infrastructure grants.
