Laramie County Senior Services, Inc. Executive Director Update
History
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 in the 4200 block of east Pershing Boulevard.
Transitioning
To most effectively generate the additional resources required to meet the growing needs of the community’s seniors, Laramie County Senior Services is now evolving from a Cheyenne Housing Authority program into a 501c3 nonprofit organization with operations to be based in the new Senior Activity Center. The mission of Laramie County Senior Services, Inc. is “Honoring and preserving Wyoming history and values by enhancing the independence, dignity and self-reliance of all Laramie County senior citizens.”
