Gunnar Malm will be presenting on the 2021 Spot Tax with an overview of the process and projects to be voted on by Laramie County voters on November 2, 2021. 

The standalone projects, include: relocating and replacing Cheyenne Fire Rescue Fire Stations 3 and 5, as well as constructing a new fire station; building a new Laramie County Senior Activity Center; funding a minimum revenue guarantee to continue air service at Cheyenne Regional Airport; building a gymnasium and gymnastics facility next to the Cheyenne Ice and Events Center; improving downtown Cheyenne; and funding matching grant requirements for the city.

The Next Gen strategy aims to position industry professionals as the leaders in economic growth, with the public sector (such as economic developers, educators and workforce professionals) following their lead. It’s a reversal from how such partnerships tend to operate, with the public sector frequently directing industries toward their own vision of the future. And it asks companies to do something they wouldn’t normally do: sit down with their competitors to discuss mutually beneficial progress. Jeff Schulz, a manager at the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services will let us know how these parternerships across the state are working.  

Join us for an update from the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Dale Steenbergen.  Dale will update us on the activities of the Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce, which strives to continue to make the greater Cheyenne area a more prosperous and quality community.
