Black Hills Energy supports Casper economic development

Michael Howe, Community Affairs Manager, Wyoming

When Casper, Wyoming's, Economic Development Agency, Advance Casper, decided to forgo its quarterly breakfast meeting due to COVID-19, and then chose to not hold yet another virtual meeting, the group decided a socially distanced golf outing might be just what its members needed.

Black Hills Energy stepped up and sponsored the boxed breakfast as well as a hole. Playing in the golf outing were Lori Neibauer, Casper operations supervisor; Will Maxwell, construction planning manager; Jesse Henderson, damage prevention coordinator; and Michael Howe, community affairs manager.

Even though the event was outside, there was significant emphasis on social distancing and other COVID-19 safe practices.

Posing by the Black Hills Energy banner are (L-R), Michael Howe, Jesse Henderson, Lori Neibauer and Will Maxwell.

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
