“Light Up Downtown” is a collaborative project between the Laramie Beautification Committee, Laramie Main Street, Visit Laramie, the Laramie Board of Realtors and the City of Laramie to install programable, year round lighting downtown to create a sense of place and game day pride while providing evening ambience, enhanced visability for local businesses, and safety for customers.
Phase I includes properties on Third Street between Ivinson and Custer.
