Grand Targhee EIS workshop plans include follow-up through Sept. 2026
Teton County’s agreement for the Grand Targhee EIS workshop work runs past the July session, with follow-up engagement and an evaluation phase among stakeholders slated to continue through September 2026.
If you care about how the Grand Targhee expansion could ripple into housing, jobs, traffic, and services on both sides of Teton Pass, the most important detail in the county’s workshop agreement is that it does not end when everyone drives home.
In the paperwork for the joint stakeholder workshop tied to the Grand Targhee Resort Expansion Draft EIS, the county lays out a project timeline that continues through September 2026 for follow-up engagement and evaluation among the groups involved, not just a single-day conversation. That matters because cross-boundary impacts are messy, and the real work is usually what happens after the flip charts get rolled up. See: Board of County Commissioners Research Agreement Packet.
