The geographic area served by the CCEDC is Campbell County including its communities of Wright, Gillette, and the rural areas.

The local Campbell County economy is mineral-dependent. We have been blessed with low-sulfur coal, oil reserves and abundant natural gas supplies. Our local community has grown and developed tremendously because of these natural resources and the industries that extract them.

Our good fortune comes with some challenges -- the most significant of which is a local economy that swings between periodic "booms" and "busts" depending on national and international energy prices, environmental regulations and other factors.

Over 130 business and civic leaders in 2002 surveyed, indicated strong support for the implementation, by the CCEDC, of an aggressive, public-private economic development strategy that defined CCEDC's future role - focusing its mission.
