Empowering Wyoming’s voice.

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.

A good place to start is our most recent Annual Report.

Big returns for Wyoming

Making Every Dollar Count for Wyoming

When the state spends $1 to help a local project, it doesn’t just disappear. It’s like planting a seed that grows into a big tree.

  • That $1 helps create $25 for our families, businessess and communities.
  • Over time, that same $1 also brings back 65 cents in tax money to help pay for our schools and roads.
What we’ve done since 2021*:
  • We put $83 million to work across Wyoming.
  • That turned into $2 billion in business for our neighbors.
  • It will bring almost $54 million back in tax money to keep our state running strong.
NOTE: These are one-time payments that keep helping our economy for a long time. The big numbers you see above only show the first 5 years of help, but the impact will actually last much longer than that!

Local & Regional Impact

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.
