Wyoming State Representative Jacob Wasserburger: Sell State Land for Rural Homeowners
Fri Feb 06 2026
Wyoming State Rep. Jacob Wasserburger is proposing a modern Homestead Act that would allow Wyoming residents to buy 10-acre parcels of state land for just $1 per acre if they build a home. The plan could open up as much as 16,000 acres for rural housing, aiming to expand supply without fueling boom-and-bust growth or private equity ownership.
