Happy 2024 all! Here are your Star Valley Ranch news updates after another fairly quiet holiday week:
On Tuesday January 2nd at 5pm the Town of Star Valley Ranch (TSVR) Roads Advisory Board (RAB) met at Town Hall. You can find the meeting agenda here. This meeting’s “New Business” agenda item regarding discussion of high-priority projects that might be suitable for the potential 6th Penny Tax 2024 ballot initiative was of particular interest. We’ll look forward to seeing the meeting minutes once they’re posted to the Town website.
I included notes about the Town Council’s discussion of the 6th Penny Tax initiative in my November 12th SVR New Roundup post in case you missed it.
The TSVR Trail Crew posted a summary of accomplishments for calendar year 2023 to their Facebook page on Saturday, January 6th. There are also a ton of awesome photos. Here are a couple of highlights:
This is the 9th year of work for the Trail Crew on the 6 trails they maintain (Vista-Prater, Valley View, Maple, Prater-Murphy, Cedar Creek and Fox Run Park).
135 volunteers donated 1,389 hours to the Trail Crew in 2023—Wow! Thank you TSVR Trail Crew and all of the volunteers for the amazing work you do!
A few other quick notes:
Next week on Wednesday, January 10th at 6pm the Mid-Valley Fire District Board of Directors will meet at the Thayne Fire Hall.
A Coat Drive will be taking place at TSVR from January 16th to February 1st. Look for some additional details on this event in upcoming Roundups.
Looks like the light snowfall we have seen on and off the last couple of days will continue into next week according to the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) at Riverton. They’re also forcasting colder temperatures. You can check out their webpage here.
