Snake River management plan update would receive $50,000 in next capital plan
Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation advisors will review a draft capital plan that sets aside $50,000 to update the Snake River management plan, as staff begin stakeholder talks with commercial outfitters ahead of a larger 2028 rewrite.
The Teton County and Jackson Parks and Recreation advisory board is set to review a draft five year capital improvement plan on Nov. 10 that budgets $50,000 to update the Snake River management plan in fiscal 2028, listed as a county planning item in the department’s capital workbook Capital Improvement Plan financials. In a separate department update, staff say they have started stakeholder meetings with commercial outfitters to identify pilot changes for the 2027 river season, and that feedback will help inform a broader plan update in 2028 department report. The record shows earlier discussion about setting up the river program’s finances rather than the plan rewrite itself; budget materials presented at an April joint town county session said Snake River Management would shift into a dedicated fund beginning in fiscal 2027 special joint meeting packet.
In September, advisors also heard public comment that “There is funding in the Snake River MGMT area,” tied to planning around BLM Parcel 26 near South Park advisory board minutes. The new capital line does not include a schedule or detail on what the 2028 update will cover.
