Town Council vote to move 90 Virginian Lane paperwork fails; split with County
Summary
A Town motion to direct staff to prepare the suite of documents for the 90 Virginian Lane project failed on a 1-4 vote, while the County later approved a separate, conditional direction on the same project.
At the May 11 joint meeting, the Jackson Town Council considered a motion by Councilmember Devon Viehman, seconded by Councilmember Jonathan Schechter, to direct staff to prepare the suite of documents for the 90 Virginian Lane development based on staff recommendations dated May 11, 2026. Mayor Arne Jorgensen called the vote; the minutes record the vote as 1-4 with Viehman, Schechter, Regan and Spery opposed, and the motion failed for the Town.
The Town outcome contrasted with later County actions on the same agenda item, which included a conditional direction to prepare documents tied to a private impact-investing threshold that the County approved. The minutes do not record the Town members' rationale in detail beyond the vote tallies.
