The State Loan and Investment Board or SLIB approved over eight million dollars in Business Ready grants.
Among the highlights, SLIB approved funding for a major road project in Sweetwater County to benefit Uranium production and the board also agreed to a managed data center cost reduction grant for Green House Data in Cheyenne.
It will give the company the opportunity to expand by providing it a two-point-25 million dollar utility break. Shawn Mills of Green House Data says the action will help his company and the state’s economy.
Governor Matt Mead and other state officials are touting a new data center, which will be built in Cheyenne.
Green House data will build the $35 million facility, which will be 100-percent wind-powered.
Green House Data currently has a data center in Cheyenne. The company says grants and aid from the Wyoming Business Council were vital in choosing Wyoming as a home, and building a second center.
