Youth movement: Gillette, Wyoming aims to become more attractive to young people

January 24, 2008

When 24-year-old Brandi Benson moved back here last year, it wasn't for the city's exciting night life or the wealth of activities and amenities the community has to offer. She moved to the area simply to be closer to family.

After graduating from Hastings College in Nebraska and doing an internship with Disney in Orlando, Fla., Benson wanted to be around family and start her career in a smaller community.

"I thought it would be good to come back here, spend time with my family and get a job that would sort of be a springboard for my career," she said.
