THE PERFECT PLACE FOR BUSINESS
Lander's Economic Future Looks Bright
Since 2003, Wyoming has ranked number one among all states for business-friendly taxation by the Tax Foundation's State Business Tax Climate Index.
The state of Wyoming and the town of Lander offer a supportive atmosphere and a favorable tax structure for you to start, build, and grow your business.
Many businesses and organizations recognize the difference that Wyoming incentives make for their success. For example, in 2007 Wyoming successfully attracted the National Computer Center for Atmospheric Research Facility, which is building the fastest supercomputer in North America.

““National Outdoor Leadership School is totally committed to Lander, it is an outdoor person’s mecca and an incredible community. A number of years ago we asked our staff and alumni where our new headquarters building should be located. The response was overwhelming, “NOLS is Lander and Lander is NOLS.” ”
