Official Proceedings of the
Uinta County Commissioners
Evanston, Wyoming
July 21, 2026
The Uinta County Commissioners met in regular session on July 21, 2026 in the commission chambers, 225 9th Street, Evanston. Chairman Mark Anderson convened meeting at 2:00 p.m. Commissioner Brent Hatch, and Commissioner Eric South were present. Also present: Amanda Hutchinson, Clerk; Loretta Kallas, Attorney; Kerri Wright, Clerk of District Court; and Andy Kopp, Sheriff.
Agenda
Motion South, second Hatch to approve the agenda amended to include; Amanda Hutchinson with a budget amendment and to move the CUP for Target Workforce housing. Motion rescinded by South and a new motion made to also include a Resolution for Special Prosecution, second Hatch. 3 yes votes, passed.
Target Hospitality Workforce Housing CUP
Kent Williams, Planner, introduced the request for the permit for Target Hospitality to host workforce housing on approximately 150 acres of the county property commonly known as “the thousand acres” off Bear River Drive for the Prometheus data center construction work force. Trenton Thornock, founder of Prometheus Hyperscale spoke in favor of the CUP for workforce housing. Troy Schrenk, CEO of Target Hospitality, spoke in favor of the CUP and provided information regarding the company’s background and abilities. They provide all-inclusive amenities such as: fire pits, golf simulators, wood fire pizza ovens, workout facilities, and an onsite medical clinic among others. First responders can stay at the workforce hub for no charge. Loretta Kallas, County Attorney addressed several false accusations and clarified for the record that there were no business meetings occurring outside of published public meetings; no commissioners have an immediate family member nor a direct or indirect benefit from the workforce hub or the data center; Target has not begun any work at the 1000 acres, but WYDOT is working on an approved project there now. Kallas provided details on the conditions being placed on the permit, which include reaching a lease agreement between the county and Target Hospitality, but that lease is not part of today’s proceedings. Kallas opened a hearing for public comments and asked people to keep comments to 3 minutes. Gary Stewart spoke against the man camp wondering why it was necessary and why so many workers would be needed. Brad Fearn said he was unsure about the man camp but was worried about his property next to if for fire hazards and for trash. Eric Mander wanted to make sure the property would not be turned into an ICE detention facility. Eric Bippen expressed concern about data centers providing more oversight by “big brother”. Chris Katzl said citizens came to her with concern that there is not a sunset agreement. Kallas corrected that misconception stating the very first condition requires that construction start within 5 years for the data center and the workforce hub CUPs. Rocco O’Neil spoke in favor, stating he is a 5th generation citizen of Evanston and there are not enough young families able to stay here; there is no other project with so much economic impact per square foot and we owe it to the next generation. Kallas closed the public hearing. All three commissioners had toured a Target Hospitality facility in Winnemucca, NV and said the site was clean and the residents and employees were happy. Anderson said if we are going to have 3,000 plus workers in our community it is better if they are at a hub with a controlled environment and promised to make sure that Target Hospitality pays their fair share and to address citizen concerns if they arise and that the utility infrastructure left behind would be a benefit to the community. Motion Hatch, second South to approve the workforce hub CUP. 3 yes votes, passed.
