Abstract
This report estimates the economic impact of the Wyoming Outdoor Recreation ARPA Grant Program (WORG), which provided over $20 million in grants and received an additional $3 million in matching funds for a total investment of approximately $23 million in outdoor recreation infrastructure across Wyoming. These investments have generated measurable economic benefits, both in the short term through construction activity and in the long term through increased visitation and enhanced outdoor recreation access.
