Marlyn Black, formerly director of the Casper Convention and Visitors Bureau, has been hired to represent Cheyenne and to generate convention leads for the Capital City in central Wyoming.

Darren Rudloff, president of the Cheyenne Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, said Black was hired because of changing dynamics in Cheyenne, in particular related to the Little America project, which when completed will be the largest hotel convention space in the state.

Other Cheyenne meeting space options include the Historic Plains Hotel, the Best Western Hitching Post, the Holiday Inn, the Taco John's Events Center, Laramie County Community College and the Cheyenne Civic Center.

Several new hotels also are under development that will add more sleeping rooms to the county.
