Economic Development Summit

Economic Development Summit
"postponed until further notice"

Once participants from various agencies have accepted and confirmed coming, we will let you know what the classes will be. This is being put on as a direct result from the interest in the Wyoming Newspaper Project, both locally and across the state. People want to know, how come 49 people in Cokeville now have part-time jobs when no one knew 49 people needed jobs? (That's addressed in a different post.)

Well, Cokeville has questions, too. And lots of them...now that the "employment bug" has bit, it's time to gain some knowledge! How to start a small business? Is there a grant for job training? Where can I turn to for information?

There will be a town meeting at 7:00pm at the Cokeville High School Auditorium that same night. This will have a panel of all our guests and will most likely be run in a question and answer type situation. We will encourage all presenters to have printed materials to hand out to those in attendance.

The Chamber of Commerce along with local economic development groups, individuals and the council representative for E.D. hope to have representatives from many economic development aspects to help our community understand all that is available for businesses, business training, grants, help for women, entering the workforce and more.
