Impact & Projects

Fifty-one years of work you can see from your front door.

More than $250 million since 1974. Here's a sample of what the One Cent has paid for across the county.

Every town gets a share

The money stays in Natrona County.

Each community's portion is set by population: Natrona County, Casper, Mills, Evansville, Bar Nunn, Midwest and Edgerton. Its own elected officials decide where it goes.

Water and sewer

Replacing aging water and sewer lines, maintaining storm drains and improving water quality.

Parks, trails and the river

New riverbanks, wildlife habitat and the parks and trails families use all year.

Streets and roads

Repairs, maintenance and improvements on the roads you use every day. Voters ranked this their top priority.

Police and fire

Firefighters, fire facilities and the safety equipment our officers rely on, including the Mills K9 program.

Community amenities

Keeping existing facilities like the Natrona County Library open, maintained and up to date.

More from every dollar

One Cent dollars help local governments leverage private funds and grants for bigger projects.
