UW pushing dealership off 15th Street property

The University of Wyoming has decided to stop leasing a piece of property to First Choice Honda, a dealership on South 15th Street, once the current lease agreement with the vehicle retailer expires in July.

Shane Griffin, who owns dealerships elsewhere in Wyoming, created the Laramie-based dealership in 2017, after buying business assets from Spradley Barr, a Cheyenne-based dealership which previously operated a business at the UW-owned property at 2102 S. 15th St.

At September meeting of the board of trustees, Trustee John McKinley said UW will use the property for its transit and fleet vehicles.

The construction of new dormitories on the northeast edge of UW’s campus, along 15th Street, is expected to displace the university’s transit operations and storage that are currently located along 15th north of Lewis Street.
