The event highlighted the power of collaboration and the shared commitment to strengthening the Jackson Hole community through innovative and mission-driven projects.

Astoria Park Conservancy Executive Director Quinn McColly spoke about the importance of partnerships and community support in bringing the project to life.

“Nothing we do happens in isolation,” said McColly. “This building stands as a reflection of what we can accomplish together.”

The newly completed building includes two housing units that will be made available to members of the local workforce through a partnership with the Jackson/Teton County Housing Authority (JTCHA). The initiative reflects Astoria Park Conservancy’s broader mission to serve the community while helping address one of Jackson Hole’s most pressing challenges — workforce housing.

“We have a team member who is currently in the application process for a unit and we are fortunate that our other team members have stable housing,” McColly said. “So rather than simply holding this asset for ourselves, we’ve chosen to lean into our broader mission. This building becomes a way to support the people who make this valley function every day.”

Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Rick Howe praised the project as a strong example of community investment and partnership.
