Elected Official’s Brochure
WEDA has produced an educational brochure on the Building Blocks of Economic Development. The goal of economic development is to increase the tax base and provide better jobs, which improves the lives of our citizens. To reach this goal, the time and resources allocated to economic development programs typically fall under five categories: developing supportive public policy, creating a competitive product (community infrastructure, sites, buildings, business climate, workforce development, and leadership development), the retention and expansion of existing businesses, entrepreneurship support, and recruiting new business. This brochure explains how interrelated these issues are.

WEDA Annual Success Stories
Since 1998, WEDA has published examples of local economic development Success Stories of its WEDA members. For the past several years, we have produced this informative publication in conjunction with the Wyoming Business Council. Our annual Success Stories publication provides a sampling of the many statewide economic development accomplishments made during the previous year. It has become an important reference tool that is useful on many levels within Wyoming businesses, the legislature, media, and in our own communities. It has been successful at communicating our members' creative solutions to challenges that comes with the territory of economic development professionals. They all prove that Wyoming's economic development really happens at the local level.
