Historic Cheyenne Regional Airport Builds For Bright Future

After nearly 10 years, an idea becomes reality with a groundbreaking at Cheyenne Regional Airport. A  $17 million project will see a new passenger terminal, parking lot and an aircraft parking apron after about 18 months of construction.

“Although the existing terminal has served its purpose well, it has far surpassed its useful years and contains many deficiencies”. - Cheyenne Regional Airport

After a some words from Governor Matt Mead and Mayor Marian Orr, the ceremonial turning of soil signaled that construction can now begin on the improvements to parking, terminal expansion, substandard infrastructure and the ability to expand the terminal and eventually, destinations.
