But at least one planning commissioner is questioning how that could be.
The 2012 Jackson/Teton County Comprehensive Plan sets a goal of housing 65% of the Jackson Hole workforce locally. Annual Indicator Reports â amalgamations of environmental, transportation and housing data prepared by the town and county â track the communityâs performance against that metric and, after prolonged decline between 2002 and 2014, a draft 2021 report said the numbers may be plateauing.
April Norton, director of the Jackson/Teton County Housing Department, took that as good news, even though, hovering between 58% and 59%, the community is underperforming the 65% metric.
âWeâve stabilized our percentage of the workforce living locally,â she told the Jackson Hole Daily.

Teton County Planning Director Chris Neubecker has recommended approval for the first stage of the Gill familyâs proposal to divide 26 acres in northern South Park into single-family quarter-acre lots.
The Teton County Planning Commission will review the proposal at 6 p.m. Monday to make a recommendation to the Teton County Board of County Commissioners. The elected board will have the final say on the familyâs pending sketch plan approval.
Neubecker said the planning department reviewed the proposal under the original 2012 Jackson/Teton County Comprehensive Plan because the Gills submitted the application before updates to that plan, which include language about neighborhood planning northern South park, were approved. The family is also pursuing sketch plan approval under the parcelâs existing âsuburbanâ zoning.
