Our mission is to grow a bold, diverse, and resilient economy for Natrona County. We partner with companies of all sizes and industries to create opportunity across every corner of Casper. From strengthening existing businesses to recruiting new industries and supporting high-value startups; we champion smart and sustainable growth that connects local potential with global opportunity – ensuring the Cowboy State stays competitive on the world stage.
The Values that guide us forward
Collaboration
Economic development takes a village. That’s why we build and maintain lasting relationships across public, private, and nonprofit sectors to foster a united effort towards prosperity.
Innovation
Integrity
Advance Casper operates with transparency and fiscal responsibility. We develop annual budgets that reflect strategic initiatives and ensure that resources are used effectively to benefit the community.
Stewardship of Place
We protect what makes the Oil City special. From our wide-open landscapes to our friendly, close-knit community, we believe that economic development should enhance the character of Casper. We pursue growth that honors and preserves the Wyoming way of life.
Talent Development & Education
Through partnerships with educators, training programs, and industry leaders; we cultivate local talent and prepare the next generation for high-demand careers – to succeed today and for the long haul.
Community-Driven Impact
We put Casper and Wyoming first. Our strategies are shaped by the needs, voices, and values of our neighbors. We measure success by real outcomes (quality jobs, thriving businesses, and a better life for every resident), not just numbers on a chart.
How We Grow Casper
At Advance Casper, growth begins with listening to: business owners, educators, residents, and community leaders. Because we believe the most impactful progress is rooted in the needs and aspirations of the people who call Casper home. Our business-driven, community-inspired approach ensures that every initiative we lead reflects the unique character and potential of our region; from business recruitment to workforce development.
The truth is we’re not here to change Casper. We’re here to direct inevitable growth in a way that strengthens what makes our mountain town memorable. Backed by small businesses, larger corporations, and dues-paying members (who understand that the long-term success and security of any place lies in strategic economic development); Advance Casper is proud to be a steward of sustainable progress. By honoring our heritage, protecting our natural assets, and investing in opportunities that align with our values, we help Casper thrive – now and for generations to come.
