The Town of Alpine passed Resolution 341 on Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2011. The resolution expresses the town’s support of county economic development.

“The County Commissioners have organized a member of each town to be a part of this economic development group,” said councilman Dave Jenkins. Jenkins was selected by the Alpine Town Council to serve on the county economic development board. “We are meeting in Cokeville once a month.”

According to Jenkins, the county is now ready to move forward with the economic development organization and is asking towns within the county to draft resolutions in support of the organization.

“We need to make it official that we want to participate in this group,” said Jenkins.

Jenkins is now looking for public input with regards to what sort of economic development Alpine residents would like to see in the area.
