Labor Availability (top)
Corporate businesses who have expanded into Cheyenne have all been able to satisfy their labor demands largely from the local area. For example, Sierra Trading Post has grown from 60 employees to close to 600. Lowe's Companies' regional distribution center, employs close to 500. In early 2012, Schlumberger, an oil field service provider, employed 50 in engineering and skilled technician positions.
Opportunities (top)Cheyenne is a city of rugged determination and proud independence, a city where the frontier still inhabits the spirit of its people. People came west to find opportunity. Today, Cheyenne still advances opportunity to today's pioneer.
Accessibility (top)Cheyenne is a location of choice partly because of where it is -- near the geographical and time center of the North American continent. Cheyenne manages a transportation triple play with the intersection of Interstates 80 and 25, two major railroads and the air corridor of the ultra-modern Denver International Airport (DIA). Six flights a day connect Cheyenne to DIA through Great Lakes Airlines. Great Lakes connects with United Airlines and Frontier Airlines, to connect people to airports around the world.
Training (top)Vital to economic team building, the local community college offers a range of academic, vocational and technical programs that provide a high-quality work force, including:
Lifestyle (top)
Voted the most polite city by the executives across the nation, Cheyenne presents many favorable attributes. Particularly noted for its spirit of volunteerism, the community supports a myriad of activities. One annual event typifies this spirit. Each year, as Cheyenne swells to accommodate three times its population, more than 2,000 residents volunteer their time and talent to produce the world's largest outdoor rodeo -- Cheyenne Frontier Days-- an extravaganza lasting 10 exciting days and nights.
Climate (top)Cheyenne rests on a broad plateau 6,100 feet above sea level. Majestic mountains to the west act as a moisture barrier, lending to the city's semi-arid climate. Bathed in sunshine and clear blue skies 327 days a year, the city experiences 52 inches of annual snowfall, which quickly melts away in the sun's warm rays.
Healthcare (top)
As a magnet for health care professionals, Cheyenne enjoys one of the highest percentages of board-certified physicians in the nation. Cheyenne Regional Medical Center acts as the regional referral center for cardiac care and cancer treatment. F.E. Warren Air Force Base provides medical airlift capabilities enhancing rapid response to medical emergencies. Laramie County health care systems successfully compete for national research projects. The Cheyenne VA Medical Center provides health care services to veterans in southeastern Wyoming, northern Colorado, and western Nebraska.
Education (top)Wyoming's commitment to education proffers one of the highest high school graduation rates in the United States.
We want to assure prospective businesses that we stand ready and willing to assist in any manner we possibly can. Just give us a call, toll-free (800-255-0742) at any time.
Sincerely,
Randy Bruns
