County weighs housing for new Coroner Facility

Teton County commissioners will consider whether to fold employee housing into the new Coroner Facility, after staff said the housing option would add $588,800 to $1,030,400 to the project and require an architect add-service. The county's staff packet on housing in the new Coroner Facility says the facility was planned at about 3,000 square feet without housing, and that the floorplans could still be reconfigured later if needed.

The packet says the Teton County Coroner recommends against including employee housing. That makes this a scope decision, not just a design tweak, because the housing choice would affect both the budget split between FY27 and FY28 and how quickly the county can keep the project on a focused path.
