Buffalo, Wyoming – The city will serve as the venue for the Wyoming Association of Municipalities (WAM) Northeast Wyoming (NEWY) leadership meeting on Saturday, October 8. Mayor Shane Schrader shared details of the agenda, emphasizing the collaborative spirit of the gathering.
Agenda Highlights
Participants will begin with a tour of the Tihac facility, offering insight into regional infrastructure projects. The agenda includes a focused discussion on hydropower opportunities, reflecting the growing interest among Wyoming municipalities in renewable energy solutions.
Following the tour, attendees will break for lunch at the Buffalo Veterans Home, which has graciously offered its dining facilities for the event. Mayor Schrader praised the Veterans Home for its hospitality and its role in supporting local government initiatives.
Purpose of the Meeting
The NEWY meeting is designed as a forum for municipal leaders to share challenges, successes, and best practices. “We’ll discuss what’s happening in each community and pool our collective minds to find solutions,” Schrader said.
