Good morning, Casper.

Casper skaters criticized the last-minute notice for the March demolition of K Street skate park that many say was a loss of a safe hangout + they urged officials to seek community input for the 15,000 sqft facility at Mike Sedar Park and address layout issues at the Marion Kreiner park.

David Street Station will host a busy summer with events including a Mother’s Day Garden Party on May 9 and various crafting, family, and splash pad activities through August.

Opportunities for seasonal staff (positions available May–Sept) and local business partnerships (contact for details) boost community engagement.

Casper’s far-west neighborhoods gained safer access with a 140-ft pedestrian bridge over the Platte River in Paradise Valley, dedicated on April 8 and funded with state, tax revenue & community fundraising; the project connects 4,000 residents to the trail system.

Oil prices have risen above $90 per barrel today in state reports, which is expected to boost local jobs and ease heating costs as natural gas prices fall.

Sales tax collections increased by over 20% since last year, pointing to a steady rise in our local economy.
