C.H. Bixby Hotel Urban Renewal Project

An AVI PC attorney from Cheyenne walked the council through the urban renewal process and introduced the hotel project and developer.

The KAJA Hospitality developer described the Hilton Tapestry hotel plans — full-service restaurant, rooftop lounge, coffee bar — and his family's hotel experience since 1993.

Brick and Bond's COO pitched the project as downtown reinvestment and addressed parking concerns, noting nearby lots and the garage are underused.

The Gaslight Social owner celebrated a decade of the Old Yellowstone District vision becoming reality and endorsed the hotel.

The Wyoming Plant Company owner said he sees hotel-driven foot traffic benefits daily and declared his support on record.

The Drinkery owner said downtown foot traffic is booming and the parking garage is chronically underused, so parking is not a real obstacle.

Speaking for the Downtown Development Authority board, she tied the hotel to the 2013 downtown strategic plan that envisioned a hotel as a catalyst project.

Advanced Casper's director announced his board's full support and personally endorsed the rooftop lounge.

Visit Casper's CEO said boutique branded hotels in walkable downtowns are in high demand and would boost tourism, lodging tax, and local businesses.
