Working for Our Communities

Here to develop our economy, support local small business & expand our economic footprint.

Our mission is simple: To build and enhance our regional economy, attract new businesses and support the growth of existing ones. To this end, we offer a range of resources, services & incentives.

As you explore our Johnson County, you’ll experience a true western experience. Northeast Wyoming continues to thrive economically while providing a lifestyle surrounded by natural beauty, filled with world class adventure for those who live, work and visit here.

Conveniently located at the gateway to the west and nestled at the base of the Beautiful Big Horn Mountains, our communities are alive with history and culture, where you and your families can create history and make memories of your own. Our communities are home to local shops offering home grown and homemade products, unique eateries with small town charm, and so much more.

We enjoy an enviable quality of life with safe streets, top-ranked schools and exciting recreational opportunities…and invite you to do the same!
