Resilience is a trait of success.
The pandemic may have temporarily knocked down Wyoming, but we have an opportunity to take the lessons learned and come back stronger, more resilient. We can thrive, not just survive.
Challenges and adversity always push creativity. We’ve gone through boom-and-bust cycles in the state many, many times, but the hardships wrought by the recent pandemic have the potential to be transformative.

Many of our industries were hit pretty hard, and they’re going to continue to suffer. We know that we’re not out of the woods yet, and we’re going to have to come together to leverage what we have learned.

Locally owned, brick and mortar restaurants, and their employees, in Laramie are hurting from the effects of Covid 19, current health orders and reduced dine in traffic. In order to assist the 36 restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, bars and breweries within the designated historic district with payroll expenses, Laramie Main Street has partnered with United Way of Albany County, Blue Federal Credit Union, Toyota of Laramie, Premier Bone and Joint and UniWyo Federal Credit Union to create a “Downtown Restaurant Payroll Grant”.
“We are thrilled to enter into this collaborative partnership with so many community minded partners to amplify the missions of both Laramie Main Street Alliance and United Way,” shared Trey Sherwood, Director of LMSA. “These grants aren’t a silver bullet to keeping doors open, but it is a needed boost until a second round of Federal relief funds are distributed”.
