Town, county set May 11 joint session on 90 Virginian Lane housing deal
A May 11 special joint meeting agenda gives town and county leaders a three-hour discussion/action slot on the 90 Virginian Lane affordable workforce housing development, with public comment available in person, by email, and (at their discretion) via Zoom.
Jackson Town Council and the Teton County Commission are scheduling their next procedural swing point on the 90 Virginian Lane housing deal: a May 11 special joint meeting with a single, 180‑minute discussion/action item. The agenda names Arne Jorgensen as chair and puts the session in Town Council chambers from 1:30 to 5 p.m. (Special Joint Meeting Agenda).
The packet is short but the participation rules matter. Officials note they can shut off Zoom public comment at any time, while in‑person comment continues; written comments can be emailed to electedofficials@jacksonwy.gov (town) or commissioners@tetoncountywy.gov (county). If you’re planning to weigh in remotely, that’s the kind of fine print that can turn “I’ll comment at lunch” into “I missed it.”
Substantively, the agenda signals the governing bodies are still keeping this item in the joint lane rather than splitting it into parallel town/county tracks—usually a sign staff and electeds want to hash out money, control, and timing in the same room before anyone locks into a vote posture.
