ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ At the end of 2024, the Wyoming Economic Analysis Division reported that single-family home prices in Gillette increased by 8.2% from the previous year while the national trend was 4.5%.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

- ➤ Casper College Goodstein Foundation Library will host the inaugural Wyoming Veteran Services Symposium on April 10 and April 11 and Governor Mark Gordon will speak on the second day at noon to honor six service providers with the Excellence in Veterans Services awards—he said the event will unite government and non-government groups in supporting Wyoming veterans.
