Council agrees to draft resolution supporting Lower Valley Energy pipeline effort
Summary
Mayor Jeff Jensen introduced a draft resolution expressing the town's support for Lower Valley Energy's efforts to bring natural gas to Afton and Star Valley; council asked staff to prepare the text for circulation and signature.
Mayor Jeff Jensen said Senator Dockstader asked the town to consider a resolution backing Lower Valley Energy's plan to extend a natural‑gas pipeline to Afton and the broader Star Valley area; Jensen asked a company representative to outline the project's status and related litigation. "Resolution 2025Dash03, to support, Lower Valley's efforts to bring natural gas to the town of Afton and the Star Valley area," Jensen stated, and the council agreed to draft the resolution and circulate it the following day.
Council members discussed the project's potential benefits for local growth and queried the legal issues reported in briefing materials — Jensen noted that the Forest Service was involved in litigation related to a segment of the project. The council's action was to authorize staff to prepare a formal resolution for consideration and signature; no final text was adopted at the meeting.
