Cheyenne LEADS

Over the past weeks, we've heard from many residents who want more information about data centers and their potential impacts on Cheyenne and Laramie County.

In response, we've created a new Data Center Information page designed to bring together publicly available information, local sources, community concerns, permitting processes, workforce opportunities, environmental topics, and frequently asked questions in one place.

This resource was built to help make information easier to access and understand. Wherever possible, we've included source documents, links, and references so residents can review the information directly and draw their own conclusions.

We know there are strong opinions and important questions surrounding this topic. Our goal is not to tell people what to think, but to provide a transparent, source-based resource that supports informed community conversations.

If there is information you'd like to see added, please let us know.

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.
