Governor Gordon: ‘Wyoming Tourism Continues to Thrive’

During the State of the State before a Joint Session of the Wyoming Legislature this week, Governor Mark Gordon said that the state’s tourism industry continues to thrive. Gordon said tourism is one of the top revenue generating sectors for Wyoming.

In January, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Board of Directors approved a non-binding memorandum of understanding to seriously consider relocating the organization’s headquarters, along with the PRCA Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy, to Wyoming. The relocation is contingent upon approval of project funding by the Wyoming Legislature.

According to information from the PRCA, the proposed campus will be located near the highly visible intersection of Interstate 25 and Interstate 80, positioning it at one of the most traveled crossroads in the region, adding that the approximately 35-acre site is envisioned as the anchor of a new western-themed entertainment, cultural and shopping district, creating a year-round destination for fans, families and visitors from around the world. The transition is anticipated to occur early in 2029 if funding for the project is approved by the Wyoming Legislature.
