Governor Mark Gordon recently signed Executive Order 2026-03, "Data Centers the Wyoming Way," establishing a statewide framework for how Wyoming approaches future data center development.

The executive order outlines several priorities, including:

✔️ Water sustainability and resource stewardship
✔️ Transparency and public engagement
✔️ Protection of residential and small-business ratepayers
✔️ Workforce development and training opportunities
✔️ Community investment and local partnerships
✔️ Responsible infrastructure planning

The order also directs state agencies to engage with communities and stakeholders and provide recommendations to the Governor regarding future policies and best practices.

For those interested in learning more, we've prepared a summary of the executive order and its key provisions on our website.

We know this continues to be an important topic for many residents, and we encourage everyone to review the information and stay engaged in the conversation.

Cheyenne LEADS recently submitted Project Cosmo & The High Plains Business Park for consideration in the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Excellence Awards program.

The IEDC Excellence Awards recognize impactful economic development projects and partnerships from communities across the country.

The High Plains Business Park is a planned 1,100-acre business park in Cheyenne designed to support long-term economic growth and future development opportunities in Laramie County.

As part of this project, major infrastructure improvements were completed within the business park, including:
✔️ A new 4.5-mile roadway
✔️ Water and sewer infrastructure
✔️ A new US Highway 85 traffic signal
✔️ 246 construction jobs created during development

Cheyenne LEADS coordinated the planning, approvals, easements, and construction administration necessary to help deliver the project infrastructure.

The infrastructure investment also helps prepare additional surrounding acreage for future mixed-use development opportunities, including potential jobs, housing, and private investment in our region.

We’re grateful to the contractors, agencies, landowners, and project partners who helped make this work possible.
