Mayor Collins proposes amendments to historic structure preservation plan

The Cheyenne City Council meeting on June 24, 2025, focused on a significant recommendation from the finance committee regarding the preservation of a historic structure. Mayor Collins opened the discussion by moving to adopt the committee's recommendation, which was seconded by Councilman Moody.

A key point of the meeting was the introduction of a substitute amendment dated June 20, 2025. This amendment included important additions aimed at protecting the historical integrity of the structure in question. Specifically, it emphasized the historical significance of the building and included provisions to prevent its demolition or alteration that could jeopardize its eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places.

The amendment also called for a report on the status of the sale of the property, reflecting the council's commitment to transparency and accountability in the process. These changes were based on input from the historic board, which had presented its concerns at a prior meeting.

Overall, the council's discussions highlighted a proactive approach to preserving Cheyenne's historical assets while ensuring that any future actions regarding the property are carefully considered. The next steps will involve further deliberation on the amendment and its implications for the community.
