Welcome to Gillette, Wyoming: a small family-friendly community with big opportunities!

Explosive population growth and a booming economy characterize the City of Gillette, Wyoming. Gillette's economy is thriving due to the region’s critical role in the mineral extraction and energy industries. Indeed, “the Energy Capital of the Nation” is the city’s adopted truism, which could not be more appropriate given that the region helps meet more than one-third of the nation’s coal demand. Continued growth in the region's mineral extraction capacity, the construction of coal-fired power plants (three of which are in various stages of permitting and construction) and the development of new clean coal technologies will help fuel the Gillette economy for years to come.

Because of Gillette's thriving economy, high paying jobs are plentiful. Gillette’s only limitation, however, is the shortage of housing available to its growing population. Despite the slowdown in housing markets across the country, Gillette's housing market bucks the national trend and continues to thrive due to the fact that demand for housing in Gillette far outstrips supply.
