Grama Targhee Resort Advances Emergency Management Plan and Infrastructure Developments

The Teton County meeting on August 19, 2025, focused on significant developments regarding the Grama Targhee Resort and its ongoing projects. Brennan Schulte from Jorgensen Associates, representing the resort, provided updates on the resort's emergency management plan and infrastructure progress.

Schulte reported that a draft of the emergency management plan (EMP) has been completed and will be circulated to stakeholders for feedback. This plan is crucial as it integrates insights from various stakeholders, including a consultant specializing in wildfire management. Schulte expressed optimism about submitting the finalized EMP ahead of schedule.

In terms of infrastructure, Schulte detailed the progress on the resort's construction, noting that a new water tank is currently being installed, with testing expected in two weeks. He highlighted that the project is approximately halfway through its $8.5 million infrastructure budget, with expectations to complete the remaining work by the end of next summer.

Additionally, Schulte addressed the shift from employee housing to affordable housing, a topic that emerged during previous hearings. He emphasized the resort's commitment to responding to community feedback regarding housing needs.

Overall, the meeting underscored the resort's proactive approach to development and community engagement, with significant steps being taken to ensure safety and infrastructure readiness as the project progresses.
