February 5, 2026, Cheyenne Urban Renewal Authority Meeting

The City of Cheyenne's Urban Renewal Authority held a meeting on February 5, 2026, primarily focused on the election of officers and a detailed discussion of a citywide blight designation study. The board approved the reappointment of existing officers and postponed approval of previous meeting minutes. The main procurement-related discussion centered on the updated blight study, which aims to designate blighted areas citywide to enable urban renewal tools and tax increment financing (TIF) applications for redevelopment projects. The board voted to recommend approval of the updated blight study to the governing body, with provisions to incorporate pending county pocket annexations. Additionally, updates were provided on ongoing urban renewal projects, including increment payments to lenders and progress on apartment developments, with an emphasis on monitoring financial performance and project timelines. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the blight designation approval could facilitate future redevelopment procurement activities.
