The City Council of Cheyenne held a meeting on August 10, 2026, where key procurement and zoning matters were discussed. The council considered and approved the third reading of an annexation ordinance for land west of Roundtop Road and south of HappyJack Road, which included assigning a Business Park (BP) zoning classification to support construction staging for a data center project. Public concerns were raised about the implications of the annexation and zoning on industrial expansion and transparency.
