Good morning, Sheridan.

Numbers from Q4 2024 released by the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services showed that Sheridan County added 224 jobs and increased payroll by $10,470,492—while Johnson County lost 23 jobs despite a payroll rise, with gains in sectors like construction, local government, manufacturing, retail, and agriculture offsetting losses in accommodation and food services. This report marks an overall state increase of 1,805 jobs and a $194.8 million payroll boost, signaling steady economic growth.

At Fort Phil Kearny on May 18th, a new Interpretive Center that highlights the landscape as its main artifact hosted a ribbon cutting attended by about 150 people including Governor Mark Gordon and state parks officials—guests later toured the fort's grounds and enjoyed refreshments.

Sheridan County Commissioners will meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. in the second floor board room of the courthouse addition to consider a temporary permit extension for Unified Taylor Quarry, a zoning resolution to amend height rules near the airport, an appointment for Ken Muller, a catering permit, an official bond for Brittany Gorzalka, and a temporary easement on Red Grade Road—members and the public may attend the meeting.
