Ground Breaking

Board of Directors 2010/2011

“This is an important time in Wyoming’s economic cycle. Opportunities abound for businesses and communities who position themselves for growth and expansion. Communities must continue to invest in themselves in order to compete in our global economy. WEDA has important responsibilities to help our State take advantage of opportunities through training, education, and building awareness. Our members work every day delivering professional economic development services to our citizens. The WEDA Board will continue to move forward, build on past successes, and plan for future opportunities,”

–WEDA President Robert Barnes.
