Teton County sets timeline for BLM Parcel 910 feedback; YDOT input and 4 W Ranch outreach pending
Summary
Following a workshop on Bureau of Land Management Parcel 910, Teton County commissioners agreed to solicit written feedback and set a schedule for public comment and a final discussion, pending additional information from the Wyoming Department of Transportation (YDOT) and outreach to the 4 W Ranch representative.
After a March 10 workshop on BLM Parcel 910, the Teton County Board of Commissioners discussed next steps, a public feedback schedule and outreach to stakeholders, and set a target for final discussion in early May.
Chair Newcomb described two steps: gather stakeholder feedback on presentations made at the workshop (including input from the Snake River Fund, the 4 W Ranch representative and county staff) and await additional information from the Wyoming Department of Transportation about right-of-way needs. Newcomb said staff member Ramage was assembling YDOT information and expected to publish it early in the week so partners could incorporate it into comments.
Nut graf: Commissioners agreed to a schedule for publishing workshop materials and accepting written feedback, aiming to post materials in the April 22 agenda packet for the April 28 meeting and to take a final discussion and possible decision on May 6, 2025, provided pending YDOT information and stakeholder responses are received.
Commissioner Karlman said he is "very interested" in seeing YDOT's plans for Highway 22 and the right-of-way footprint. Commissioner Karlman also reported trying to reach the 4 W Ranch's lawyer, Mr. Fodor, and said he had not received a reply; he indicated he would like to speak directly to the ranch's client to explore accommodations. Chair Newcomb confirmed the county's history of attempting to work through Mr. Fodor and said staff will notify that representative of the timeline.
Orion Hatch of the Snake River Fund (public comment) thanked Parks and Recreation staff for coordination and said he looked forward to the upcoming discussion on the Parcel 910 timeline.
Ending: The commission asked staff to publish materials for partner review by April 22 for the April 28 agenda, and tentatively scheduled a final decision discussion for May 6, 2025, contingent on receipt of YDOT information and stakeholder comments.
