Town of Jackson votes on moratorium for new development
by Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce
March 21, 2018
Town Council met today (Wednesday, March 21, 2018) in an emergency meeting to vote on a complete moratorium of new development applications for projects affected by proposed stricter employee housing rules in the Town of Jackson for 180 days. It would apply to "applications under the land development regulations to which current affordable housing standards or current employee housing requirements apply, or to which the proposed affordable workforce housing standards would apply".
The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce made public comment asking for more time to look at what the moratorium could possibly do to the business growth potential. Amongst the other opposing public comment, the Town Council voted 4-0 (Don Frank was absent) for the moratorium to take place.
The development freeze will be in place through the summer building season until the middle of September.
