Sherard Water Treatment Plant has switched from chlorine gas to a safer on-site sodium hypochlorite system, following a 2023 gas leak.

3. Burlington, Sierra to fill former Kmart space on Dell Range Boulevard (wyomingnews.com) — Cheyenne shoppers can look forward to Burlington and Sierra moving into the long-vacant former Kmart building on Dell Range Boulevard, next to Hobby Lobby. City planners have approved the site plan and are working with the California-based owner on incremental parking and landscaping upgrades, with construction and opening dates dependent on contractors but likely by early spring.
