Governor Mark Gordon has relaunched the Wyoming Meat Processing Expansion Grant Program (WMPEG). The Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA) is now accepting applications for the program, which will continue to provide support for Wyoming meat processing facilities and Wyoming citizens impacted by supply chain disruptions and regional shut-downs of processing facilities resulting from the COVID-19 public health emergency.
The Governor has allocated up to $2 million in Federal CARES Act funds for WMPEG 2.0. The grant is based on the ongoing need to increase Wyoming’s local food supply chain security and capacity across the state.
