January 13, 2026, Cheyenne Historic Preservation Board Meeting

The City of Cheyenne Historic Preservation Board held a meeting on January 13, 2026, focusing on board member introductions, election of officers, and updates on various historic preservation projects and city planning initiatives. Key procurement-related discussions included the status of the pump house restoration project, where the city council repealed a prior resolution that included demolition provisions, effectively resetting the project and opening opportunities for community-driven solutions. The board also discussed grant funding challenges related to the airport terminal restoration, including a required $15,000 match and delays due to staffing changes in the grants coordinator position. Additionally, the board reviewed urban renewal and tax increment financing tools as mechanisms to support historic preservation and community development, with emphasis on ensuring projects align with public benefit and community standards. The meeting included planning for upcoming strategic sessions, historic preservation awards, and participation in a statewide preservation conference, with attention to budget allocations and contract considerations for ongoing and future projects.
