Why Casper, Wyoming is a Thriving Home for Business

Only Foreign Trade Zone in the State
Casper’s international airport, C/NCIA has the only Foreign Trade Zone in the state, meaning goods can directly enter the zone without a formal customs entry, pausing or potentially eliminating duties and taxes, an advantage for our manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution industries.
Unmatched Tax Benefits
Wyoming stands out with one of the most business-friendly tax climates in the nation. With 0% personal income tax, 0% corporate income tax, no inventory tax, and no tax on goods in transit, your bottom line goes further here.
Strong Workforce
rom higher education that’s deeply woven into our community’s fabric to industry-specific training and hands-on entrepreneurial support, Casper cultivates a workforce that’s both capable and committed. Here, talent isn’t just found - it’s continuously developed to meet the needs of today and the vision of tomorrow.
Largest Industrial Base in Wyoming
With the largest industrial base in Wyoming, Casper offers a uniquely strategic advantage for a wide range of businesses. Our geographic centrality in the Mountain West, combined with robust logistics infrastructure, broadband connectivity, and shovel-ready sites, makes our place a premier choice for manufacturing, distribution, energy, and tech.
Diverse Economy
We've identified five industries of focus for the region based on existing capacity, community assets, and future diversified growth prospects: advanced manufacturing, energy, finance, medical, and technology. By emphasizing these five industries and supporting stakeholders like education, real estate, and construction, we believe all will benefit from the focused direction.
Lively & Safe Local Community
Casper is a vibrant, safe, and close-knit community. It’s a place where neighbors look out for one another, families roam freely, and community events bring people together. With excellent schools, award-winning healthcare, and plenty of ways to get involved, Casper offers a genuine sense of belonging.
