Council approves sidewalk bond extension for Pronghorn Crossing
PINEDALE, Wyo. — Following significant delays and community frustration, the Pinedale Town Council approved a new $425,392 bond for sidewalk construction at the Pronghorn Crossing subdivision. Developer Jason Moyes, whose work fell behind earlier deadlines according to town records, now has until Aug. 20, 2027, to complete the sidewalks. The town will continue to hold the developer's existing $788,750 project bond until all other primary infrastructure items, including stormwater systems, reach substantial completion.
Council upholds building permit moratorium for Pronghorn Crossing
PINEDALE, Wyo. — Seeking to hold developers accountable for delayed infrastructure, the Pinedale Town Council voted to maintain a building permit moratorium for the Pronghorn Crossing subdivision. The unanimous decision directs town staff to deny two pending building permits for Lots 10 and 15 until developer Jason Moyes achieves substantial completion of the subdivision's infrastructure. Enforcing the town code protects future homeowners from what officials described as a potentially unsafe situation regarding unfinished infrastructure.
Airport hangar project requires contingency funds for water tank, soil
PINEDALE, Wyo. — The Pinedale Town Council approved two work change directives for the new airport hangar project, utilizing contingency funds without increasing the guaranteed maximum price of the contract. The town will spend $82,956 with the general contractor to replace unsuitable soil discovered under the hangar slab during excavation. Additionally, the council authorized $111,891 for exterior insulation and metal cladding on a 70,000-gallon fire suppression water tank after the original tank supplier was unable to fulfill the project order.
Council member appointed to Pinedale Airport Board
PINEDALE, Wyo. — The Pinedale Town Council unanimously approved Mayor Matt Murdock's appointment of a council member to the Pinedale Airport Board. The appointee will replace outgoing board member John Hart and represent the town's interests during ongoing infrastructure upgrades at the facility, including the construction of the new hangar and fire suppression systems.
Council approves commercial building permit for museum expansion
PINEDALE, Wyo. — A major commercial expansion at the Museum of the Mountain Man received a green light after the Pinedale Town Council approved a building permit for the project. The development, located at 700 E. Hennick St., exceeds $500,000 in value and required specific council approval. The permit is contingent upon final approvals from the state fire marshal and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, alongside a council waiver allowing an interior water meter installation to accommodate fire suppression lines.
New bicycle and e-bike ordinance passes final reading
PINEDALE, Wyo. — The Pinedale Town Council unanimously approved the third and final reading of Ordinance 742, officially updating the town's regulations on bicycles and electric bikes. The ordinance establishes clear guidelines for the use of bicycles, e-bikes and motor-assisted devices on town pathways and streets through a new section of the municipal code. Officials plan to launch an educational campaign in local schools this fall to ensure residents understand the new traffic safety rules.
Sublette County School District homecoming parade route approved
PINEDALE, Wyo. — Sublette County School District No. 1 is officially set for its fall celebrations after the Pinedale Town Council approved a temporary use permit for the annual homecoming parade. The permit authorizes the closure of a section of U.S. Highway 191 near mile marker 99 on Sept. 18. The highway will be temporarily closed to traffic from 11 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. to safely accommodate the high school's student floats and marching band.
