On Saturday, August 9, 2003, the South Side "Original City" Neighborhood
Revitalization Strategy Area Task Force of Cheyenne, Wyoming presented
their Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) Plan to the
Mayor of Cheyenne, Jack R. Spiker and HUD. After a press conference,
residents of the South Side participated in a day-long celebration
in Lincoln Park. A block party included free food cooked by the
police department, music and entertainment, door prizes and free
swimming at the Johnson Pool.
The press conference and celebration were the culmination of more
than a year-long process of public information gathering, focus
group meetings and the formation of a task force to develop the
NRSA plan. This is the first NRSA submitted to HUD for approval
from the state of Wyoming.
