The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Downtown Casper should soon have more apartments and an expanded apparel store after city leaders approved the bids at the end of a contentious, three-hour meeting Tuesday night.

The Casper City Council was split, with five members voting to sell two city-owned buildings and three voting to wait. Shortly after local entrepreneurs submitted their ideas for apartments, an apparel store and a cupcake shop, a coalition of groups requested the council explore using the land for a possible $70 million conference center.
