GILLETTE, Wyo. — Northeast Wyoming Regional Airport is seeking a new marketing firm.

Proposals are due by 2 p.m. March 20. The Request for Qualifications document may be obtained from the Northeast Wyoming Regional Airport Administration Office, 2000 Airport Road, Suite 108, Gillette, WY 82716, the airport reported.
