TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. — Phase two of the powderhorn employee housing project will begin this month, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) announced yesterday.
Three four-story buildings will be constructed, adding 30 units of employee housing, totaling 90 beds.
The project will be located on the same property as the current JHMR employee housing on Powderhorn Lane across from the new post office and near Picnic and Target. Phase one was completed in 2014.
The apartments will be a combination of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and four-bedroom apartment-style units.
“JHMR is proud to invest in affordable housing options for our workforce that will relieve pressure on the community’s demand for housing,” stated JHMR President Mary Kate Buckley.
“This most recent investment follows the North Stilson complex of 12 two-bedroom townhouses that opened in May 2021 and adds to Powderhorn 1 and a number of other short and long-term housing options that we offer to both our seasonal and tenured employees,” Buckley noted. “I’d like to thank the Town Council and planning staff as well as our Teton County Commissioners for supporting our efforts to develop affordable workforce housing.”
Construction will begin in mid-April and is expected to take 16-18 months to complete, making rooms available for the 2023-24 season employees, says JHMR.
