A contribution from the Laramie Rivers Conservation District’s (LRCD) Community Enhancement Grant will help advance the Laramie Plains Civic Center’s (LPCC) goal of creating a vibrant, sustainable outdoor space for community use in Summer 2025.
Since 1945, the Laramie Rivers Conservation District has served Albany County by promoting the conservation and responsible management of natural resources through education, technical assistance, and targeted funding. LRCD’s programs support water conservation, land stewardship, soil health, and community education initiatives throughout the region. Their involvement in the Courtyard Rehabilitation Project aligns with both agencies’ missions to enhance and protect the resources that make Albany County a thriving place to live and work.
The Civic Center seeks to transform a currently underutilized area into an accessible green space featuring native plants, improved landscaping, sustainable water management practices, and outdoor gathering areas. The project will not only beautify the facility but also create new opportunities for community events, outdoor learning, and recreational enjoyment.
LPCC is actively seeking funding to complete the Courtyard Rehabilitation Project. Community support from local funders, businesses, and individuals will allow the public-serving project to come to life. At present, the project has received just over half the required funding to complete the project in Summer 2025.
LPCC is actively seeking additional funding to complete the Courtyard Rehabilitation Project. Community support from local funders, businesses, and individuals will help bring this public-serving project to life. To date, the project has secured just over half of the necessary funding for a Summer 2025 completion.
“We are honored to have LRCD's support and partnership in bringing this vision to life,” said LPCC Executive Director Jessica Brauer. “Their investment underscores the importance of public green spaces and the role they play in supporting healthy, connected communities.”
LRCD’s contribution, a $4,200 grant, will be paired with public donations, in-kind support from Common Outdoor Ground, and pending grant support from additional regional agencies. A volunteer workday, coordinated by Common Outdoor Ground, is scheduled for May 31. Interested participants can learn more here.
