As for a land swap, the City can't dispose of land they no longer want through a land swap, land must be auctioned off to the higher bidder. There is no doubt that the land where Bluebird is proposed is very valuable and but get a very high price in the present market for it. Also, the Ci…

Gwen Raney commented on Amid heated debate, Bluebird Village to go before P&Z
As the Planning and Zoning commission moves forward with its review of the Bluebird project I urge them to take many things into consideration. Recently the P and Z rejected Solstice because of its size. The developers of Solstice worked with the P and Z for one year to accommodate their …
Gwen Raney commented on Support Bluebird and beyond
Neil Bradshaw took the oath of office as Mayor of Ketchum in January, 2018, he had barely warmed up the center seat at the City Council meeting when he announced that all affordable housing projects were off the table and that he had 12 potential projects up for consideration. Surprisingl…
Gwen Raney commented on 21-04-09 Cartoon Blue Bird.jpg
This cartoon is a disgrace but comes to no surprise. I personally find most of what is printed in the Mt. Express opinionated and not journalism. The Bluebird Village project has elevated much concern regarding our City government process because it is being forced onto the community. The…
Gwen Raney commented on Affordable housing needs more thought
Bravo to Mr. Meads for calling out the shallowness of Mr. Hoffman's accusations against those of us who want more for Ketchum than a massive building project like Bluebird in Ketchum's community core.
Gwen Raney commented on Let’s get Bluebird Village done

Gwen Raney commented on Tribute Hotel project takes another step
This hotel has been a disaster for Ketchum from the beginning. The size and scope of the project has never “fit” the site and can only be built through waivers. The P and Z, Mayor and City Council do not deserve the trust of tax paying residents if this project goes forward and simply ill…
Gwen Raney commented on Hotel project still compliant, city says
I am in full agreement with those who have posted comments related to Mr. Bariteau’s hole in the ground at the entrance to our town. This is a long over due embarrassment to our town and the visitors we encourage here. People shake their heads and wonder why our City governance is so perm…
Gwen Raney commented on Despite positive feedback, Ketchum will reopen Fourth Street
All the signs, tables, chairs and planters have now been moved from 4th street so businesses can now function as they expect to and the traffic flow and parking will be what it should be.
Gwen Raney commented on Bluebird housing project flies forward
As a Ketchum resident, I am frustrated that the Bluebird project is not going up for a vote. People should be aware that GMD Development headed by Mr. Dunfield have been actively pursuing a project like Bluebird for over a decade. They first started at the site where the new fire station …
