February 10, 2026, Cheyenne Historic Preservation Board Meeting

The City of Cheyenne Historic Preservation Board held a meeting on February 10, 2026, focusing on ongoing preservation projects, grant reporting, and capital improvement initiatives. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on payments for historic preservation contracts, coordination on the annual Certified Local Government (CLG) report which was overdue, and the planning of a capital improvement grant request by the Atlas Theater for hail-damaged window repairs. The board also discussed the restoration and preservation approach for the airport fountain, including the solicitation of a professional bid from Pacific Coast Conservation for repair work, emphasizing preservation over continuous operation to prevent moisture damage. Additionally, the board considered establishing a historic preservation easement for the Louisa Swain federal building to protect its facade and lobby as part of an upcoming property sale, with plans to draft the easement document and involve city attorneys and relevant cultural trust fund representatives. Strategic planning was highlighted as a priority to address design guidelines for facade grants and to improve coordination with the Development Authority. No formal votes on contracts or budget allocations were recorded during this meeting, but several action items were identified to advance procurement and preservation efforts.
