Project Need. The Midway City Community Services and Education Center serves a vital need in the urban County because it serves low to moderate-income, limited English speaking residents who would not have local access to services that promote health, education and economic self-sufficiency in culturally and linguistically relevant ways. According to 2017 Census information, the median household income of Midway City residents ranges between $0 and $45,568 with 25% below $25,000; and 20.6% of families living at or below the poverty level. The majority of the population is 28% Hispanic, 48% Asian, 38% White and 11% African American/Native American and other races.

They have limited or no formal higher education with limited or no viable employment skills. They are homeless single female head of households who benefit from stable housing in a structured environment providing intensive intervention, direction, guidance, motivation, and accountability.

One hundred percent of the clients they serve are below the low to moderate income range with most falling into the extremely low-income range. They prioritize clients who are homeless; living on the streets, in vehicles or coming from emergency shelters. Their goal for each client is to enhance and provide a suitable living environment for them to help get them on the road to self- sufficiency. This project is needed to increase the County’s capacity to provide housing for homeless and low-income individuals.

Project Need. This 8.1 mile, 12-foot wide multi-use linear heritage trail is regularly used by both tourists and residents for walking, biking, rollerblading, running, horseback riding and bird watching. The trail is experiencing increased use for bikes and running events available in the region including the Xxxxxx Riverwalk Run, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Memorial 5k, the Blackwater Glow Run, and the Xxxxxx/Xxxxx Memorial Century Bike Race. It is estimated that the visitation of the trail is to exceed 100,000 annually.

Project Need. Describe in sufficient detail the need for the project and why BRC funds are necessary. Include any other funding options that have been pursued for this project. Evidence of project need is demonstrated through a well-developed justification for public financing. The discussion should also address why other financing options could not be obtained or are not feasible and repercussions if funding is denied. This project addresses the two distinct needs that can contribute to the development of recreation in the town of Xxxxxxx. Through improving snowmaking on SKM, this project will allow the ski area to potentially open earlier in the season. By opening the ski area earlier for ski racing events, this project has the potential to bring significant revenue dollars to the Town via lodging and restaurant services during the traditional off-season. There are currently no downhill mountain bike trails within close proximity of the town of Xxxxxxx. Through the introduction of downhill bike trials, Xxxxxxx will add a new activity and tourist draw to its diverse outdoor recreation repertoire. Together these two new activities have the potential to significantly impact tourism in Xxxxxxx. Furthermore, these activities will contribute to the health, safety, and wellbeing of children in Xxxxxxx through improving access to recreational activities in close proximity to Town. SKM has considered a wide variety of funding sources for expansion of recreational activities and facilities including the Town of Xxxxxxx, community non-profits, the Teton County School District, the Wyoming Business Council, the Wyoming Trails Grant program, and other private funding sources. Due to the large scope of this project and the numerous organizations that support the project, SKM anticipates that each of these organizations will play a role in funding some or all aspects of recreational activity expansion on SKM. SKM will fund a portion of this project’s matching costs and will make a significant financial contribution to the overall goal of improving recreational facilities on the mountain. However, due to the low level of existing income from ski area operations, SKM is unable to cover a significant amount of the funds necessary to expand recreational activities. The Town of Xxxxxxx seeks to fund the xxxxxxx of trees on SKM with the objective of reducing fuel in the event of future forest fires. This work will contribute to improving ski terrain on SKM. However, beyond this work, the ...
Project Need. The Brea Senior Center, exceeding 100 years of age while serving approximately 52,000 seniors annually, is in need of kitchen improvements in order for it to remain an efficient, accessible, functional and safe environment for the increasing number of low-income seniors and the community it serves. The longstanding building provides a safe setting for seniors to participate in many activities and services geared towards their needs, including nutrition. The kitchen at the Senior Center is used by staff and senior volunteers at least five days per week to prepare and service a hot, nutritious lunch. The home-delivered meals program also utilizes the kitchen. Both programs heavily rely on senior volunteers who are in and out of the kitchen for hours at a time. The kitchen is in need of many improvements so that it is more easily accessible, functional, safe, well ventilated, and is space efficient considering increasing demands.
