In development: Taco Bell, 7Brew and more in the works for Cheyenne
CHEYENNE — Wyoming’s capital city is constantly expanding, and population growth tends to also mean new businesses. From coffee shops and restaurants to entertainment hubs like off-track betting facilities, Cheyenne residents can expect to see several new businesses in town or expand in the coming months. They include: Lincolnway 7Brew A new 7Brew coffee shop is being built at 2405 E. Lincolnway, and marks the second 7Brew in Cheyenne. The other is located at 1821 Dell Range Blvd. 7Brew is a drive-thru kiosk that sells coffee, energy drinks, sodas, smoothies and more. Charles Bloom, Planning and Development director, said the development required demolishing the old Twin Chimneys Motel, which first opened in the 1930s. “There’s a lot of discussion (about that) because I guess it was a noticeable motel on the old Lincoln Highway,” Bloom said, although he confirmed it was not an officially recognized historic site. Bloom said groundbreaking in preparation for the building has started, but he is not aware of an opening day yet. He said he assumes developers are aiming to open sometime next spring.

National Elk Refuge fields questions about what feeding elk could mean for Jackson Hole’s water
JACKSON — As National Elk Refuge leaders laid out long-term options for managing elk and bison wintering on the edge of Jackson, a discussion Tuesday turned to the northwestern Wyoming town’s water supply. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is weighing the pros and cons of feeding elk and bison, in part to keep the animals away from town and from damaging private property. But wildlife disease experts predict that continuing to concentrate animals around alfalfa pellets in the winter could lead to more elk infected with always-lethal chronic wasting disease, smaller populations and reduced hunting opportunities. Although there’s been long-standing discussions about what that could mean for the long-term health of the elk herd, scientific research is also probing what accumulating prions in the environment could mean for the soil, plants, water and even human health. (Chronic wasting disease has never been documented in humans, but the interspecies barrier is not considered absolute and public health officials advise against eating meat from infected animals.) Meanwhile, a new peer-reviewed study, published this summer in the journal “Environmental Science & Technology,” suggests prions that cause chronic wasting disease may pass through soil into surface waters or groundwater aquifers. What that could
