Joan Barron: The Big Blue Wave Skips Wyoming

CHEYENNE – Although the Democratic blue wave skipped Wyoming this year, it left a few dips as well as the sense that voters' political choices were shifting a tad. Overall though, Wyoming emerged as still a very red MAGA state backing President Donald Trump. The needle might be quivering a bit, but it still is very much where it has been stuck in recent years.

City engineer requests $1.17 million increase to Reed Avenue rail project design contract

CHEYENNE – Members of the Cheyenne City Council are considering a contract modification that would nearly double the cost of design work on the Reed Avenue Rail Corridor Project. The item, which was discussed at the council’s Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, would add $1,166,647 to the existing design contract for the project. Before the modification, the design contract amount was $1,320,919. If the additional funding request is ultimately approved, it would total $2,487,566. The Reed Avenue project plan was first drawn up in 2018 after the city’s engineering department received $4 million from the 2017 sixth-penny sales tax ballot. Although city officials tried to begin work immediately, they soon came to realize that BNSF Railway — not the city — owns the right of way in the corridor, and therefore underestimated how much the project would cost. Council members slowed down their work on the project until earlier this year, when officials got back in contact with BNSF officials to work out an agreement. City Engineer Tom Cobb told committee members Tuesday that the additional funding would expand the project beyond its original scope and address requirements that emerged during coordination with BNSF Railway and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

New DDA executive director Unruh brings previous downtown revitalization experience to Cheyenne

CHEYENNE — Cheyenne’s Downtown Development Authority has a new executive director who brings experience in downtown revitalization and community development to the role. Brandon Unruh, who began his position with the DDA earlier this month, previously worked for the town of Kersey, Colorado, where he spent four and a half years in a variety of roles, most recently as the town’s community development director. “I worked primarily on downtown revitalization projects,” Unruh said. “That included project management, grant management, and building relationships with the property owners and business owners that operated in our downtown.” During his time in Kersey, Unruh said he also helped establish a downtown revitalization committee to provide input on projects and communicate with the Kersey Town Board of Trustees. While his responsibilities as a small-town government employee were wide-ranging, Unruh said downtown revitalization was the part of the job he loved the most. “So this new opportunity with Cheyenne I’m really excited about because that’s obviously what I’m focused on,” he said. Unruh began working for Kersey as its recreation director before receiving a series of internal promotions. He later served as community experience director and oversaw a broad department that included downtown revitalization, recreation, event

Wyoming Game and Fish adopts 2027 State Wildlife Action Plan

CODY — The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission heard proposals from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department on several regulation changes and updates during the first day of its November meeting Thursday. Interim Director Eric Wiltanger gave an update on several projects the Game and Fish Department has been working on, including thanking the Wyoming Department of Transportation for its partnership on wildlife crossings around the state, and continued push for proven conservation outcomes for the fish and wildlife species that will be impacted by the Seminoe Pumped Storage Project. “We are actively participating in the federal review process with the Bureau of Land Management, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on the proposed Seminoe Pumped Storage project to ensure Wyoming’s wildlife and fisheries aren’t sidelined,” Wiltanger said. Wiltanger also announced a Coffee and Conversations initiative to begin in early 2027. Leadership and regional staff will meet with people in communities across the state to listen to feedback, ideas and concerns about how the department and the state’s residents can keep Wyoming’s wildlife thriving together. “Real service means sitting down at the table and having honest conversations with the public about wildlife management challenges in Wyoming, ” Wiltanger said.
