Why it matters
The closure of WY Fresh farm marks the end of a locally owned agricultural business in Cheyenne. The tighter regulations imposed by the City Council directly led to the owners ceasing operations.
The City Council in the Cheyenne area is currently discussing the potential annexation of county land in northern Colorado, amid questions regarding undue influence from donations.
