KEMMERER, Wyo. – The SLCEDC has announced a name change for their sub-committee tasked with directing and working with their Economic Development Liaison – Stephen P. Allen.

The SLCEDCs’ purpose is to promote the economic development efforts of South Lincoln County and surrounding areas to include Cokeville, Opal, LaBarge, Diamondville, and Kemmerer. In order to more accurately reflect the area represented by the SLCEDC, the sub-committee known as the Kemmerer-Diamondville Development Committee (KADC) will now be known as the Fossil Basin Economic Development Committee (FBEDC). The sub-committee will continue its duties to direct and work with the liaison to promote all areas of economic development in and around South Lincoln County.

The SLCEDC/FBEDC recognizes the importance of existing businesses to be an important part of any economic development. With this in mind the FBEDC is currently developing more efficient methods of communication with all the communities and local businesses. The committee will be sending out a letter through the Chambers of Commerce, email, and US Postal Service to all businesses in order to develop an interested business list. The SLCEDC/FBEDC will be requesting, in the letter, the following information: Business Name, Address, Phone, Email, Point of Contact (POC) Person, Preferred Communication Method, Type of Business/Service Provided and Areas of Economic
Development Information Important to your business.

This is to ensure all are informed on current and future economic development projects like those of TriSite, TerraPower, Exxon-Mobile, Glenrock/Kanada, Rain Fire, etc.

The goal is for the SLCEDC/FBEDC to develop open lines of communications with existing businesses in order to support growth across all of South Lincoln County. Based on each local business’s interest it is the intent of the Committee to communicate with each as information becomes available for release. The Committee requests that if businesses have additional questions to contact the Liaison, Stephen P. Allen at stephen.allen@lincolncountywy.gov or 307.800.2142.
