"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

There are four official “opportunity zones” in Casper — and one local organization is asking the City Council for $10,000 to promote these areas to potential investors.

“We want to get investors to invest in these areas so they can improve the quality of life for the residents who live there,” said Sabrina Foreman, the vice president of business development for the Casper Area Economic Development Association.

The association, which annually receives about $400,000 in public funds, works to bring new businesses to Casper and help existing businesses improve their profitability.
