WYOMING COMMUNITY PROFILES
CODY
The City of Cody lies about 20 miles east of the Shoshone National Forest, the country's first national forest, and 52 miles east of the East Entrance to the world's first national park, Yellowstone. Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Cody blends spectacularly beautiful and unspoiled scenery with outstanding attractions, extensive outdoor recreation, a variety of lodging facilities and restaurants, unique shopping and a bustling business community.
It's a mix of energy, agriculture, tourism and manufacturing, and the nearly 9,000 resident community of Cody is at the heart of it all. The cultural amenities and mild climate creates a community that is not only a great place to live but also to do business. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Yellowstone National Park and the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains, Cody is surrounded by some of the country's most scenic country.
Northwest College, located in nearby Powell, and its satellite facility in Cody, The Cody Center, deliver a wide-ranging higher education curriculum and are key components in Wyoming's workforce training program. NWC will assist businesses in tailoring a training program to meet individual needs.
It is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast—camping, hiking, fishing, boating, hunting, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, golfing, rock and ice climbing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing. Panoramic views and abundant wildlife create some of the most extraordinary scenic drives anywhere. Because it's a tourist destination, Cody has a number of fine restaurants, superb shopping, western design furniture manufacturers and other western artisans, an array of art galleries and a business friendly climate.
