The Sidewalk 50-50 Improvement Grant is a partnership between the DDA and the City of Cheyenne. The program focuses trip hazards and overall sidewalk safety and mobility, enhancing the downtown Cheyenne pedestrian experience.

Typically, property owners are responsible for the entire cost of sidewalk repairs, but under the Sidewalk Improvement Program, the DDA will cover 50% of the repair costs, while property owners will be responsible for the remaining 50%. The City Engineer’s Office will partner with the DDA to secure contractors and coordinate repairs/improvements. This cooperative effort reflects the ongoing commitment of the DDA and the City to invest in the downtown area and support local businesses. Sidewalks must be deemed a hazard by the City Engineer's Office to be eligible.

For more information on the Sidewalk Improvement Program or to inquire about participating, contact the DDA office at 307-433-9730.

APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED ON A ROLLING BASIS; LIMITED FUNDS AVAILABLE.

Capital Improvement Grant & Façade Improvement Program

The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) offers both the Capital Improvement Grant and the Façade Improvement Program to support and encourage private investment that enhances the public realm within the Downtown Development Authority District.

The Capital Improvement Grant is intended to assist with property improvements that contribute to the long-term vitality, safety, and functionality of downtown buildings and sites.

The Façade Improvement Program focuses specifically on exterior building enhancements that improve the visual appearance of downtown properties, strengthen the overall streetscape, and reinforce downtown’s character and sense of place.

Annually, funds are allocated for both programs and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. All funding is reimbursement-based and subject to review and approval by the DDA Board. Additional program details, eligibility requirements, and funding guidelines can be found within the application materials. Parameters are linked below. 

A pre-application meeting with DDA staff is required before submitting an application. To best evaluate the proposed improvements and existing conditions, meetings are preferably held at the property included in the application, when feasible. These meetings allow staff to review project scope, eligibility, and application requirements in person.

The following link will take you to our online permit portal. Registration is required. Please be prepared to provide the following information:

• Any pre-application meeting notes regarding this project

• Plan view or building elevations (in some cases, photographs will be acceptable)

• Two estimates or quotes for the proposed improvements to be funded

• Any relevant planning, zoning, or building permit applications

The DDA has put together an informational guide to help you understand the sidewalk snow removal process in Downtown Cheyenne. This guide outlines the responsibilities of property owners, the snow removal procedures, key details about the Clean and Safe program, and other related information. Keeping sidewalks clear is essential for safety and accessibility during the winter months, and we want to make sure everyone knows how the system works.
