City to hold public hearing on housing-related grant application

Published on October 23, 2025

The City of Cheyenne will hold a public hearing next week to receive comments about an application for funding to assist with a workforce housing project in Cheyenne.

If approved, funds from the Business Ready Community Grant and Loan Program would purchase 8.25 acres of land on the northwest corner of Carlson Street and Converse Avenue to assist with the development of workforce housing. The City is seeking public input regarding this project.

The Business Ready Community Grant and Loan Program is administered by the Wyoming Business Council. The intent of this program is to ready a community for new business development through economic or educational development projects which may include, but is not limited to, water, sewer, streets and roads, telecommunications, airports, purchase of rights of way, purchase of land, buildings, facilities, industrial and business parks, industrial site or business district development, amenities within a business or industrial park, landscaping, recreational and convention facilities, and or other physical projects.

The hearing will be held Friday, Oct. 31, at 1 p.m. at the LCSD #1 Boardroom at Storey Gym, 2810 House Ave., and online via Zoom (information below). An additional public hearing will be held in November.

Residents can also submit written comments by mail to Renee Smith, Economic Resource Administrator, 2101 O’Neil Avenue, Cheyenne, WY 82001, or by email at rsmith@cheyennecity.org.

All written comments must be received no later than Friday, Oct. 31, at 12 p.m. The City of Cheyenne will take all comments made at the public hearing and written comments submitted on or before the deadline into consideration before considering a resolution in support of submitting an application for a 2025 BRC Community Readiness Award.
