Opportunities

Cheyenne is a city of rugged determination and proud

independence, a city where the frontier still inhabits the

spirit of its people. People came west to find

opportunity. Today, Cheyenne still advances

opportunity to today's pioneer.

Accessibility

Cheyenne is a location of choice partly because of

where it is -- near the geographical and time center of

the North American continent. Cheyenne manages a

transportation triple play with the intersection of

Interstates 80 and 25, two major railroads and the air

corridor of the ultra-modern Denver International

Airport (DIA). Six flights a day connect Cheyenne to DIA

through Great Lakes Airlines. Great Lakes connects with

United Airlines and Frontier Airlines, to connect people

to airports around the world. Additionally, American

Eagle through American Airlines begins twice-daily jet

serves as the northern anchor city of the vibrant Front

Range region of the Rocky Mountains.

college offers a range of academic, vocational and

technical programs that provide a high-quality work

force, including:

� Custom-tailored employee training

� On-site training and professional development

� Professional continuing education

� Specialized computer training

Lifestyle

Voted the most polite city by the executives across the

nation, Cheyenne presents many favorable attributes.

Particularly noted for its spirit of volunteerism, the

community supports a myriad of activities. One annual

event typifies this spirit. Each year, as Cheyenne swells

to accommodate three times its population, more than

2,000 residents volunteer their time and talent to

produce the world's largest outdoor rodeo -- Cheyenne

Frontier Days-- an extravaganza lasting 10 exciting days

and nights

Climate

Cheyenne rests on a broad plateau 6,100 feet above sea

level. Majestic mountains to the west act as a moisture

barrier, lending to the city's semi-arid climate. Bathed in

sunshine and clear blue skies 327 days a year, the city

experiences 52 inches of annual snowfall, which quickly

melts away in the sun's warm rays.

� Average monthly temperature 58.3 degrees F

enjoys one of the highest percentages of board-certified

physicians in the nation. Cheyenne Regional Medical

Center acts as the regional referral center for cardiac

care and cancer treatment. F.E. Warren Air Force Base

provides medical airlift capabilities enhancing rapid

response to medical emergencies. Laramie County

health care systems successfully compete for national

research projects. The Cheyenne VA Medical Center

provides health care services to veterans in

southeastern Wyoming, northern Colorado, and

western Nebraska.

Education

Wyoming's commitment to education proffers one of

the highest high school graduation rates in the United

States.

University and the University of Northern

Colorado offer diverse courses of studies.

Wyoming as one of the nation's 10 best buys in

colleges, and the Carnegie Foundation ranks it

among the top 100 research universities in the

United States.

generous scholarship program named the

Hathaway Scholarship that rewards eligible

Wyoming students with scholarship money to

attend the University of Wyoming or a

Wyoming community college. The program

provides merit- and need-based awards to

eligible students.

We want to assure prospective businesses that we

stand ready and willing to assist in any manner we

possibly can. Just give us a call, toll-free (800-255-0742)
