SWEETWATER COUNTY – A series of informational meetings for county residents to meet and discuss issues is coming to a close. The final meeting will be on Wednesday and will be for the residents north of Rock Springs.

The series of meetings, hosted by the Sweetwater County Planning Department, takes place in the smaller communities in the county. Meetings have taken place in areas like Reliance, Farson and McKinnon. The meetings allow residents to get a better understanding of some of the processes of the county. It also gives residents a chance to ask questions of the different officials.

Officials from most departments in the county, as well as a couple Sweetwater County Commissioners, are present to answer questions and hear different concerns. Similar meetings have been done in 2008 and 2011.

The next Community Town Hall will be for the residents North of Rock Springs. Officials will be at the Wyoming Department of Transportation building from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, August 10, to hear the goals, ideas and challenges from north Rock Springs.

Residents are being asked to fill out a discussion form to let the county know what you want to talk about. 

Recently, the commission concluded a town hall in McKinnon where several concerns were discussed. Including were potential issues with addresses and 911 calls. The county heard the concerns and started investigating the issues.

Although this is the final meeting, residents still can discuss issues with someone from the county. To do so contact them at landuse@sweet.wy.us
