Laramie, Wyoming – The City of Laramie, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), and the Laramie Main Street Alliance (LMSA) have launched a community-wide engagement strategy to create a new Downtown Development Plan. Residents, business owners, property owners, students, and visitors are all encouraged to participate and share their vision for Downtown Laramie's future.

The plan will be the first update to Downtown Laramie’s trajectory in 15 years and will replace the Downtown Plan adopted in 2011. The new plan addresses a broad range of topics, including buildings, streets, public spaces, transportation, housing, economic development, and infrastructure. 

Community input will be central to shaping priorities, timelines, and the responsibilities that guide how Downtown partners move forward together. Even just a single comment about what is or isn’t working can help inform the plan.
