Data, reports, and stories showing how WBC programs work and what Wyoming gets in return.

Tools for the Team of Thousands

A resilient economy is built on a foundation of data and transparency. This page serves as a comprehensive toolkit for Wyoming’s local leaders, partners, and citizens to see exactly how economic development is taking shape across our state. Because we know that a win in one community looks different from many others, these resources are designed to provide the straight facts needed to lead with confidence in your own backyard.

From detailed Regional Impact Summaries and BRC Project Profiles to our latest annual reports, you will find the data-driven stories that matter to your neighbors. Whether you are preparing for a town council meeting or simply want to see how taxpayer dollars are being reinvested to strengthen the unique economic fabric of your corner of Wyoming, the answers are here.

Big returns for Wyoming

MAKING EVERY DOLLAR COUNT

Every public dollar WBC invests in Wyoming doesn’t just get spent — it gets multiplied. Business Ready Community (BRC) and Wyoming Venture Capital (WYVC) investments from 2021 through 2025 show a consistent pattern: infrastructure and capital investment at the state level unlocks significantly larger private investment, business revenue, and tax returns.

  • $1 invested helps create $25 for our families, businesses, and communities.
  • Over time, that same $1 also brings back $.65 in tax money to help pay for our schools and roads.

WHAT WE’VE DONE SINCE 2021*

$83 million to work across Wyoming $2 billion in business for our neighbors $54 million back in tax money to keep our state running strong

NOTE: These are one-time payments that continue to help our economy over time. The big numbers you see above only show the first 5 years of help, but the impact lasts much longer!

REALITY CHECK

We welcome scrutiny. In 2026, the Wyoming Department of Audit completed a review of nearly seven years of WBC operations as requested by the Wyoming Legislature. The findings: no material misstatements, no improper spending, no violations of Wyoming law — and one minor documentation note involving less than $850 across thousands of transactions. Independent review is how accountability works, and we’d put this record up against any state agency.

Local & Regional Impact

WBC IN YOUR BACKYARD

Economic development isn’t one-size-fits-all; a win in Casper looks different than a win in Cowley. To help you understand the specific growth happening in your backyard, we have developed Regional Impact Summaries that break down our work by the numbers and the stories that matter to your neighbors. Explore these resources to see how Business Ready Community (BRC) investments, local business expansions, and strategic partnerships are strengthening the unique economic fabric of your specific corner of Wyoming.
