As the City of Laramie continues a multi-phase water system rehabilitation project along the Third Street corridor, Laramie Main Street is launching a campaign to drive foot traffic to the impacted businesses. 

As an incentive for customers to shop local during construction, Main Street is providing impacted businesses each with a $10 downtown gift certificate to hide in their store this week, starting Wednesday, June 21. 

Shoppers are encouraged to visit the following businesses and look for the certificates, that can be used like a check anywhere downtown.

• Daylight Donuts
• Hometown Garage
• Subway
• Grounds Internet and Coffee Lounge
• Bagelmakers
• Qdoba
• Travel Inn
• Link Cycling
• Laramie Respiratory
• Laramie Property Management Group & Laramie Auto Glass
• Hot Power Yoga
• ReVive – IV Vitamin Bar
• St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church
• Laramie Soup Kitchen & Clothing Cottage

We’ll be posting photos of the lucky winners and gathering customer testimonials to enhance the campaign. 

Main Street has also developed marketing materials for the impacted businesses, including poster and social media templates and a business handbook. These can be downloaded at:  https://laramiemainstreet.org/thirdstreet 

This second phase of construction began in April and is estimated to be complete by October 2023. The project involves abandoning the old water main and installing a new one along the western side of the street. The project will include the replacement of the water main within Third Street between Lewis Street to Sheridan Street moving from north to south. Additionally, water main repairs will be made in the Third Street and Fetterman Street intersection. The City states, “there will be an unavoidable temporary inconvenience to area businesses and the public”.
