As an individual citizen, Renita Glasoe presented a proposal for a mural to be painted on the side of Buckaroo Motors in south Torrington. She requested $2,800 to fund a mural contest.

At this time, the County’s needs exceed the funds available, and Ms. Glascoe was encouraged to seek funding from other sources. The regular meeting adjourned at 10:35 a.m. The next meeting will be Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Per Wyo. Stat. §18-3-516(f), additional county information is available at www.goshencountywy.gov or by calling the Clerk’s office (307)532-4051. (approved for publication)
