Yellowstone seasonal employee housing approved

Xanterra and Delaware North, which are Yellowstone National Park concessionaires, have won approval to proceed with new seasonal housing for their employees.

The National Park Service Acting Director signed a “Finding of No Significant Impact” for a final Environmental Impact Statement. The project could begin as early as this fall.

The project will include the construction of up to 14 recreational vehicle (RV) sites and six modular homes, and rehabilitation of comfort stations to provide shower and laundry facilities at an abandoned camper loop in the Canyon Campground. Additionally, this project will include construction of up to 25 RV sites and a bath house adjacent to the Yellowstone General Stores warehouse near the West Entrance.
