Red Lodge mayor tells Carbon County commissioners flood permit under review; raises access, water concerns for proposed subdivision
Summary
City of Red Lodge Mayor Dave Westwood told Carbon County commissioners the flood permit for the Rocky Fork Inn demolition is under review and described a proposed subdivision with concerns about physical access and water services; Administrative Officer Angela Newell directed residents with poisonous hemlock concerns to the Invasive Plants Department (department jurisdiction not specified).
At about 9:30 a.m. on July 31, 2025, City of Red Lodge Mayor Dave Westwood told the Carbon County Board of Commissioners that a flood permit for the Rocky Fork Inn demolition is under review and that a potential new subdivision is being considered. Mayor Westwood flagged concerns about physical access to the site and water service availability for the proposed lots.
Administrative Officer Angela Newell told Mayor Westwood and the board that poisonous hemlock plants have been reported behind 311 Houser Ave in Red Lodge and advised that members of the public should contact the Invasive Plants Department rather than the county administrative office. The minutes do not specify whether the Invasive Plants Department is a county, state or municipal office or provide contact details.
The minutes record the exchange but do not show formal county action on the flood permit or subdivision at this meeting. Mayor Westwood left the meeting after his remarks.
