Huntsman Springs plans for a luxury resort
The proposed plan has two hotels a luxury resort to the north and a business class hotel near the court house.
Mayor Hyrum Johnson is please the community is concerned however,”most of the public comment we have received thus far are a direct response to VARD (Valley Advocates for Responsible Development) news letter and their email blast, unfortunately there was a little incorrect out dated information. So some of the comments are not addressing the reality of the proposal as we are looking at,” says Hyrum Johnson, mayor of Driggs.
The hotel will bring in about 100 new jobs. Johnson says about 30 percent of the people in the county work in Jackson. “So I would think that some of those people might be able to find jobs locally. I would hope that some of them would be able to do that,” says Johnson.
