The BRC Community Readiness program assists communities in preparation for business development as set forth by W.S. 9-12-601. In a Community Readiness project, no specific business is committed to expanding or locating in the community. Instead, the community is focused on building the necessary infrastructure to prepare for future business development supported by community planning documentation.
