About the Plan
Adopted in February 2025, the Plan of Development serves as the legal foundation for all activities and investments undertaken by the Cheyenne Downtown Development Authority (DDA).
Under Wyoming state statute, the DDA may only support projects and initiatives that align with the adopted Plan of Development, making it one of the most significant guiding documents for downtown Cheyenne.
In addition to identifying physical and economic improvements throughout the Downtown District, the Plan defines the legal boundaries of the DDA’s authority and establishes a community-informed framework for future investment, partnerships, and operations.
Updated in 2024, the Plan reflects current downtown conditions, community priorities, and long-term development goals.
