We continue our year-in-review series today with a look back on some of the top news stories of 2025. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has more.
During halftime of the Wyoming Cowboys Football game at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie on Saturday, October 11, Governor Mark Gordon announced the Cowboy State Agricultural Initiative. The Governor’s video message coincided with Agriculture and Energy Day. During the message, Gordon said the state’s energy and agriculture industries have created generations of jobs and our unique cowboy culture.
Through the initiative, Gordon has appointed a working group committed to preserving Wyoming’s agricultural heritage for current and future generations. The working group is made up of 13 Wyoming individuals, including executive branch advisors, state legislators, county commissioners, agricultural association representatives, University of Wyoming officials and business leaders. The group will present a strategy for investments in education, applied research, and innovative farm and ranch management, for current and future generations. The working group’s goal is to support current agricultural practices and business in the state and suggest short- and long-term actions to be taken to keep agriculture thriving in Wyoming. During a Sheridan City Council business meeting in the fall, Sheridan Fire Marshall George Neeson announced a new partnership between Sheridan Fire-Rescue and Community Connect. Neeson explained to the governing body just what Community Connect is and how it will benefit residents and business owners in Sheridan.
Neeson said that all of the data that a resident or business owner provides to Community Connect is secure and is used only for the purpose of better serving business owners or residents during emergency situations.
We’ll continue our year-in-review tomorrow, with a look back at a few more of the stories that made the news in 2025.
