Downtown Community Plaza Design
With a great turnout and many outstanding ideas
presented at the public meeting in October regarding the Downtown Community P=
laza,
plans are continually being laid and progress on the
project continues to run smoothly. Attendees at the meeting were generally in approval of all conceptual plans
presented, preferring combinations of particular elements in=
to a
hybrid final plan.
Russell + Mills, the landscape architects hired by
the committee, presented the final plan for the plaza at both a
special LMSP Board Meeting and a City Council work sessio=
n on
Oct. 28th. The LMSP board moved unanimously to proceed forward with
construction documents for the plan, and the City Council seemed to=
be
in approval of the plan as well. Russell + Mills will soon pro=
vide
copies of the plan to put on display throughout the city.
We here at Laramie
Main Street could not be more excited about the implementation of t=
his
community plaza. Our thanks to all who attended the public
meetings, your voices were heard, and because of this the plaza tru=
ly
will be a "community" gathering
space!

Knowledge to Spare and Share at this Year'=
s Main Street
101/201 Training
Main Street 101/201, sponsored by the Wyoming Main
Street Program, was held in Laramie in mid-October.
The training brought almost 50 people from around the state who
are interested in preservation-based downtown revitalization to our
town; and proved a great source for ideas, inspiration, and experti=
se
from around the state and the country.
The Laramie Main Street Program was proud that our
town could host this event. The visitors from around the state were
highly impressed with all that has been done here in Laramie to
revitalize our community, and hopefully we will have a few more sis=
ter
communities across the state to join us in the Wyoming Main St=
reet
Program soon!
