Historic Overview

Since 1972, Laramie County Senior Services (LCSS) has operated in the Senior Activity Center near the library in downtown Cheyenne. Providing meals, senior exercise and recreational activities, family caregiver support, and other services to the fastest-growing portion of Laramie County’s population. While the county’s population has nearly doubled in the last 50 years, LCSS’s service capacity has not been able to meet the growing demand. Downtown Cheyenne’s expansion around the Senior Activity Center has prevented building expansion, reduced parking and access to services, and limited the number of seniors served.

New Senior Activity Center

In November 2021, with the support of the Laramie County Commissioners, 6th Penny funding for a new Laramie County Senior Activity Center was approved by the voters; the new Center will be constructed in Cheyenne on CHA-owned vacant land in the 4200 block of east Pershing Boulevard.

To most effectively generate the additional resources required to meet the growing needs of Laramie County seniors, LCSS is now a 501c3 nonprofit organization with operations based in the new Senior Activity Center.
