Members of the Cheyenne City Council are considering a resolution to increase the Downtown Development Authority's annual budget by approximately $100K for FY2026. The proposed increase would fund expanded programming and operational capacity for the DDA. The request arrives during a budget cycle in which the city is also evaluating other priorities for incremental funding.

For DDAs in similarly sized cities considering FY27 budget requests, the Cheyenne case is a current reference for how a $100K-scale increase request is structured and how the city council engages with the request.
