Your Concern, Our Solution
As a Wyomingite, I'm concerned that encouraging economic development will change Natrona County and Wyoming.
Change isn't inherently a bad thing. Growth doesn't have to come at the expense of our way of life. Wyoming's energy industry helped build the communities, schools, infrastructure, and opportunities that generations have relied on, and it remains a vital part of our future. Thoughtful development allows us to honor our energy legacy while creating new opportunities that support local families, businesses, and future generations.
The cost of promoting economic development in Natrona County will outweigh the benefits.
These concerns deserve to be heard and thoughtfully considered. By evaluating opportunities through the lens of community impact, economic benefit, infrastructure needs, and public safety, we can make decisions that balance progress with preservation. The goal isn't growth at any cost; it's thoughtful development that strengthens our economy and protects the values that matter most.
As a business leader, I fear too much diversity could hinder my business operations.
Demonstrating that Natrona County welcomes and supports business reflects our commitment to building a stable, enduring future. Supporting thoughtful growth welcomes new ideas, talent, and opportunity, creating the diversity needed to sustain our economy for generations to come.
