Iron Guard Workforce Housing

Proposed 5,600-worker housing development advances despite resident opposition

The Laramie County Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval for a Class C Conditional Use Permit for an 800-unit temporary workforce housing development near Cheyenne. The housing is intended for workers on large energy and data center projects, including a Meta data center and the Tallgrass/Crusoe Project Jade. Residents expressed strong opposition due to concerns about public safety, traffic, and property values, while proponents argued it addresses a housing shortage and supports local workers.
