Look for Save Historic Jackson Hole’s ad in the 2-17-16 News&Guide weekly paper. In an effort to inform and educate the community we thought it the right time to question the effectiveness of the Teton County Housing Authority to date. They have owned land—purchased with taxpayer money—that they have not built housing on. Some parcels have gone unused for a […]
WE WERE THERE… Save Historic Jackson Hole was present (well, sort of…we caught the live stream) at today’s town workshop where councilors made decisions to whomp nonprofits with a $25 event application fee for things government should be happily providing for like the town Easter egg hunt. “It’s reasonable to recoup costs the town incurs,” Don Frank said. “[Applicants] should […]
A proposed development in South Park would put 206 homes on 203 acres on Nielson Ranch/Lucas property there. The arrangement would also put 22 homes in on Spring Gulch with the promise to preserve open space there. While the project is not without merit, Save Historic Jackson Hole has concerns about the pre-application for this proposal, which will be developed by Steelhead Partners […]
Governor Matt Mead broke ranks with local government in Jackson Hole. After both the county and town agreed the NPS preferred Alternative C for the 8-mile Moose-Wilson corridor was the most appropriate, Mead said they’re wrong. In a letter to the Park Service, Mead said Moose-Wilson Road should have a bike path and questioned the 200-vehicle limit, claiming cueing cars […]
Perhaps it’s simply a sign of the times we live in when a 700-page document is still not enough to appease some. When Friends of Pathways (FOP) and Teton Village Association (TVA) didn’t have things go their way at the secret meeting with Park Service officials over the Moose-Wilson Road, they lawyered up. FOP and TVA say they are just […]
The National Park Service is currently analyzing feedback from more than 3,000 respondents including Save Historic Jackson Hole. Their Preferred Alternative C includes a 200-vehicle limit at any given time for the 8-mile corridor, no inclusion of a bike path, and a reduced speed limit to 20 mph for much of the from Teton Village to Moose. The Teton Village Association (TVA) […]
WE WERE THERE… At the Town Council Workshop, the first order of business today provided a Save Historic Jackson Hole highlight moment. During discussion on how exactly to remove the Walgreens building on Broadway and who would pay for replacing it with an earthen material buttress against the base of the butte.
We’ve been talking about out-of-control growth since at least the 1970s. Likely, long before that. We came across two very interesting articles for those with the leisure time to read. Yeah, we know… “Leisure time?” “Read?” But these are worth a skim. Todd Wilkinson’s January 13, 2016 column in the News&Guide referenced a decades-old National Geographic article written by Francois […]
