The Jackson Special Town Council meeting held on June 16, 2025, focused on several key issues regarding housing development and workforce units in the area. The meeting began with discussions about the existing workforce housing units, particularly referencing the old lift building along South Cache, which contains one unit. The council reviewed the Glenwood Field project, noting that it includes units ranging from 1,500 to 1,800 square feet, with a few exceeding 2,000 square feet.

A significant topic of discussion was a proposed condition from the applicant concerning off-site housing options. The council clarified that the current proposal would allow the applicant to place housing units off-site, contingent upon approval. This decision is critical as it impacts the applicant's programming and development timeline.

Council members expressed concerns about the implications of these housing decisions, particularly regarding the balance between market and workforce units. Councilman Schechter raised questions about the practical consequences of the proposed changes, seeking clarity on the number of market units that would be added at the hotel and the workforce units that would be gained at the loop.

The discussion highlighted a potential increase in market units from 17 to 33 along North Cache, although the exact number of workforce units to be converted from market units at the loop remains uncertain. The council emphasized the need for precise data on unit counts and ratios to make informed decisions moving forward.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the ongoing challenges of housing development in Jackson, particularly the need to balance market demands with the provision of affordable and workforce housing. The council plans to revisit these discussions as more detailed information becomes available from the applicant.
