Local Economic Development

Located at the northern end of the Rocky Mountain Front Range Urban Corridor, Cheyenne benefits from its proximity to the dense populations, diverse employment, and educational infrastructure of the Front Range cities of Colorado. Additionally, Wyoming is a right-to-work state with employer-friendly labor rates and laws.

Here in Cheyenne, businesses enjoy a favorable tax and regulatory climate, low cost of doing business, world-class communications, and having F.E. Warren Air Force Base as a terrific source for an educated, disciplined workforce made up of current and retired military members.

Over the years, Cheyenne has invested wisely (and generously) in quality of life initiatives. The community has chosen to invest in itself by voting for improvements such as the downtown splash pad, Botanic Gardens and 31 miles of Greenway; expanded parks; downtown historic districts; and new schools and community college facilities.
