Wyoming Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Trust Fund Board to Meet in October

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Sept. 23, 2026 – The Wyoming Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Trust Fund (ORTTF) board will meet on Oct. 7, 2026, in Cody, WY, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's Cody Regional Office located at 2 Tilden Trail.

The ORTTF supports outdoor recreation infrastructure projects across Wyoming through funds generated from the statewide lodging tax. In July, the board awarded more than $1.9 million to outdoor recreation and tourism infrastructure projects across 15 counties. Additional applications for grant funding will follow in 2027.

“The success of the inaugural July awards set a strong foundation for the program. As the ORTTF board gathers to review grant materials and results, they are focused on thoughtful preparation to ensure the 2027 funding cycle is even more impactful,” says Brynn Hirschman, grant coordinator for the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation.

Members of the public are welcome to attend board meetings. An online attendance option will be available for virtual attendees; however, the ORTTF board will benefit from your in-person attendance. A designated time will be provided for public comment.
