Federal Grant Goes To Minimize Flood Risk in Wyoming City
The U.S. Department of Commerce has given Cheyenne, Wyo. a grant for a storm sewer project that should help minimize the risk of flooding downtown.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported the department’s Economic Development Administration awarded the city a $1.68 million grant. It will go toward a storm sewer interceptor project for downtown’s west end.
Cheyenne Planning Services Director Matt Ashby says the project is a major initial effort in spurring increased development and renovation in the area. The sewer project will allow storm water to be captured and diverted to a nearby creek.
