Teton County Approves Gill Family Affordable Housing Plan in South Park
What happened
Teton County commissioners voted 4 to 1 to approve the Gill family’s plan for a large-scale housing project in northern South Park. The project is slated to include 557 homes on 74 acres of land. Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area and the Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust will build 70% of these homes as affordable housing.

Why it matters
The vote marks a major step in a long-imagined community vision for affordable housing in the area. The Gill team must still submit and receive county approval for its grading and erosion control permit before construction can proceed.
