CHEYENNE — A nonprofit organization supported by major players in Wyoming’s energy industry is spending over $200,000 to renovate the kitchen and bar at the Governor’s Residence in Cheyenne.
The Governor’s Residence Foundation is paying for the work, which includes more than $97,000 for the bar and nearly $96,000 for new kitchen cabinets, countertops and other improvements.
Gov. Matt Mead mentioned the project to state lawmakers last week when he announced over $240 million in budget cuts to state agencies for the coming two-year fiscal cycle. Downturns in the state’s energy revenues have prompted the cuts.
“We try to leverage private funds, for example work on the public side of the governor’s mansion being made with private foundation dollars, versus public dollars,” Mead said.
