As for the long-term impact, it is important to note that the Northern South Park Plan is far from breaking ground. In the coming months and years, the Plan will undergo planning, permitting, and additional review where public input and further government buy-in are required. Regardless, in a county where approximately 3% of the land is developable, the Northern South Park Plan could bring historic changes to our community and housing market.
About the Northern South Park Plan
- The Northern South Park Plan has identified 225 acres of ranch land for the site of over 1,400 residential and deed-restricted housing units. The Comprehensive Plan describes a “village” neighborhood with a variety of housing types and multi-modal streets surrounded by “preservation” zones where wildlife habitat and scenic views are protected. Additional goals include:
- Create a mixed-income neighborhood and allocate 70% of its units to either Affordable or Workforce housing entitlements.
- Connect recreational pathways to the existing Jackson Hole Community Pathways System and construct a centralized 3 to 5-acre park and smaller parks throughout to provide a high quality of life.
- Establish Neighborhood Centers for residential, community, and commercial uses.
