Teton County Economic Plan
Resort towns across the globe suffer from overcrowding, natural resource destruction, unaffordable housing and low workforce wages. Teton County, Idaho, has a historic opportunity to define a better destiny before it’s too late.
The county’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code are key elements that define the type of smart growth that citizens desire. This Teton County Economic Plan aims for an economy that respects the natural values of this extraordinary place and places the needs of citizens first.
Boosting economic diversity by supporting local entrepreneurs, selectively recruiting low-impact, high-wage businesses and addressing natural, human and infrastructure constraints, will help Teton Valley remain an economically vibrant community that provides meaningful job opportunities at good wages without ruining what makes the valley special: open space, wildlife, a rich history and uncrowded recreation opportunities.
