City Of Cheyenne

City Of Cheyenne Grants Office Division acts as a federal grant recipient providing public transit operations, fire and emergency response staffing, community development, and environmental remediation services to federal agencies across multiple domestic grant programs. The City of Cheyenne is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming; it operates as a prime grant recipient (55% of recent awards) and sub-recipient (45%) under federal formula grants, project grants, and cooperative agreements, with no contract prime footprint and no participation on federal contract vehicles.

The City's grant portfolio concentrates in transportation, housing and community development, aging services, and emergency response. The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration leads the customer set by award count with 23 awards funding fixed-route and paratransit operations, vehicle replacement, and facility capital projects under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) and the Buses and Bus Facilities program (CFDA 20.526). Recent representative transit awards include a $2.98 million formula grant (August 2026) for continuation and expansion of Cheyenne Transit services through September 2027, a $4.14 million project grant (March 2026) for interior and exterior renovation of the Westland Transit Facility, and a $1.80 million formula grant (May 2024) for replacement vehicle purchases completing in December 2027. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development holds 20 awards under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement program (CFDA 14.218), which funds housing, economic opportunity, and community development activities. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living accounts for 19 awards, primarily under the AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (CFDA 94.011), which funds senior volunteer mentoring and tutoring services to disadvantaged children; the City is the recipient on a $364,340 award (July 2026) running through June 2029, requiring 10% statutory match and 10.5% budgetary match. The City also holds awards from the Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency for fire and emergency response, including a $5.2 million Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant (CFDA 97.083, August 2023) for fire department staffing through August 2026 and a $425,748 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (CFDA 97.044, August 2023) for fire protection and emergency response capabilities.

Secondary customer agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 (cooperative agreements for climate action planning under CFDA 66.046 and brownfields assessment under CFDA 66.818), the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (a $1.39 million project grant for historic train car renovation on 15th Street), and the Department of Energy (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant formula funding). The City acts as sub-recipient on pass-through awards from the State of Wyoming, Department of Health and Human Services, Wyoming Department of Transportation, and Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

Activity has grown unevenly across the historical dataset — 12 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, 26 in 2024, dropping to 5 each in 2025 and 2026 — reflecting the cyclical nature of federal grant cycles and completion milestones. Four awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The combined obligated value across all 143 awards totals $92.1 million against a combined potential value of $128 thousand, reflecting reporting anomalies in the source data and the formula-grant character of the portfolio, where amounts are typically fully obligated at award. The City's sub-recipient role focuses on emergency response training, kinship navigator programs, urban forestry, safe routes to school planning, and disaster mitigation, channeled through state pass-through entities and local agencies.
