Meta Cheyenne Campus

Cheyenne's economy spans military and federal (F.E. Warren Air Force Base and its ICBM operations), state government (Wyoming's capital), railroads (Union Pacific operations), and growing data center demand from Microsoft's Cheyenne campus and Meta's adjacent build. Two tracked facilities and 101 NAICS 518 jobs (reported) with industry average pay of $141,601, reflecting hyperscaler tenant scale despite the small headcount.

The trades pool is very small. Electricians at $74,590 across just 530 workers earn well above national — driven by Wyoming's tight labor market and hyperscaler construction premiums. HVAC technicians earn $57,820. The 540 maintenance workforce earns $47,740. The 250 security officer pool benefits from the F.E. Warren cleared-security pipeline.

For a trades worker, Cheyenne is a small but quietly important hyperscaler market with strong wages for IBEW electricians and limited overall labor supply. Best fit for trades willing to relocate to a small high-altitude metro with concentrated Microsoft and Meta opportunities. Cost of living is very low.
