Planning and Zoning Meeting

The Sweetwater County Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on July 16, 2026, primarily focused on zoning amendments related to mineral development overlays. Two public hearings were conducted regarding applications by Tyler Schultz of Shishi Jim, Wyoming, to add MD2 mineral development overlays to approximately 320 acres and 160 acres of land currently zoned for agriculture and mineral development. Both proposals involved underground mining with no surface disturbances and were supported by relevant agencies including the Wyoming Department of Transportation and Rocky Mountain Power. The commission approved motions recommending the zoning amendments, which will proceed to the county commissioners for final approval. No specific contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but the zoning changes support future mining operations and infrastructure development in the county.
