While Rapid City residents debate whether data centers belong in their backyard, a homegrown corporation is quietly anchoring some of the largest tech developments in the country — just across the state line. Back home, its South Dakota electricity customers face substantial rate increases. Meanwhile, Black Hills Corp. expects to earn $150 million annually by 2030 from supplying electricity to Google. That’s more than half the $291.6 million that Black Hills Corp. earned for shareholders in 2025. On Nov. 5, Google announced a $17 billion investment in a data center near Cheyenne, Wyoming. Rapid City-based Black Hills Corp., parent company of Black Hills Energy, has agreed to help power it.

The Air Force is exploring the reactivation of a north-central Montana nuclear missile field, roughly the size of Rhode Island, as part of the Department of Defense’s Sentinel project to replace the land-based arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs. The area under consideration includes 50 missile silos that make up the 564th Missile Squadron, which spans the area between Dutton and Shelby and was officially deactivated in 2008. The proposed reactivation of the 564th has recently been included in a supplemental environmental impact statement being prepared by the Air Force. The proposal would be yet another expansion of the $140 billion Sentinel project, which has already seen delays and a pivot toward digging new silos after initially planning to use the original ones. A government review was ordered in 2024 after project costs grew by 81%. The U.S.

Whether you’re a prospective resident of the Centennial State or just curious about its largest cities, it’s always nice to have a list to skim. Here’s just that, a look at twenty of the most populated towns in Colorado. Colorado has an estimated population of 6,036,620 in 2026. (5.69 million in the 2020 census). More than half of whom live in the following largest cities. Data came from the United States Census directly for 2010 and 2020, and the 2026 data is only an estimate from World Population Review. Many of the included cities are suburbs of the greater Denver area, but there are plenty of standalone towns on the list, too. Some cities are declining in population, while others are still growing. Almost all of the cities are located east of the Rockies from Fort Collins south to Pueblo, along the Front Range Urban Corridor; but one Western Slope city managed to sneak in near the bottom.
Wellington Daily News · Wellington, CO
Nearby: Wellington, COBy James Winham, Wellington Fire Chief/Emergency Medical Services Director As winter temperatures settle into Wellington, local furnaces, space heaters and fireplaces are working harder to keep homes warm. Heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fires during the winter months, but many of these incidents are preventable. Wellington Fire Rescue encourages residents to follow these safety guidelines to keep their homes warm and their families safe throughout the heating season. Give Space Heaters Space Portable space heaters offer convenient warmth but require careful attention. Follow the three-foot rule by keeping heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn, including bedding, curtains, furniture, clothing and rugs. Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet. Never use extension cords or power strips, which can overheat and cause electrical fires.

Nearby: Laramie, WY• Cokeville faces Big Horn on Friday at 12 noon It was a season that promised a lot of success as a senior-laden and experienced Cokeville Panther squad delivered in 2026. CHS used their dominant run game to pull away from the visiting Mountain View Buffalos to secure their spot in the Wyoming 2A title game this Friday at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie. It was the second one-sided win over Mountain View this season for the Panthers who defeated the Buffs in conference play 41-0. Kashton Walker rushed for three of those touchdowns and also collected an interception on defense to lead the way as the Panthers advanced to the title game for the second time in the last three seasons. It will be a rematch of that game as the Cokeville will take on the Big Horn Rams who are in the game for the fifth straight year. “We knew it was going to be a harder game and it was,” replied head coach Marty Linford.

Nearby: Laramie, WYAn overview of how the city of Laramie’s challenges to expanding its bus system Photo by Marcus Kopp The city of Laramie has identified serious issues within the city’s current transit systems, including more routes to the University of Wyoming. After discussion and a survey, the city has decided to adopt a 10-year plan to expand the transportation system to address these gaps in service. “The city wanted a plan to fill the gaps where service isn’t necessarily available in Laramie,” said University of Wyoming Director of Transportation Paul Krunkel. “Our current budget for transit, it’s around 3.5 million. With all said and done, the operating costs of what this would look like 10 years would be, 7.5 to 8 million [dollar] operating costs a year. So, it’d be substantial, and I’m glad they’ve put together a phase plan, so we’re not putting it all together at once.
