New Wyoming Program Offers Grants for Alcohol Audits Written by Andrew-Rossi on April 20, 2021
The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality is in the post-pandemic spirit, offering energy efficiency audits to regional breweries and distilleries.
Thanks to a recent influx of federal money, the department is looking to extend a different type of financial assistance to Wyoming businesses. The new program is offering grants for breweries and distilleries to get audited by a professional company.
These audits won’t be focusing on a company’s products or quality. The priority of the audits is energy usage and helping business owners get more efficient and less expensive.
Then the idea fell flat.
âThe very simple bottom line is that the Teton County Health Department has neither the staff nor the funding to support this,â David Peterson told fellow board members Tuesday. âMy suspicion is this is not going to be an inexpensive endeavor. The working committee arrived at the consensus that itâs not the time right now, at least, to consider implementing these rules and regulations.â
Peterson was one of four health board members who were a part of a subcommittee tasked with investigating the feasibility of a draft rule proposed by two professional water quality advocates: the Wyoming Outdoor Councilâs Dan Heilig and Protect Our Water Jackson Holeâs Dan Leemon.
