The following links will take you to planning projects in Grand Teton National Park, including Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), Environmental Assessments (EAs), management plans, and decision documents, such as Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSIs) and Records of Decision (RODs). A glossary of these terms is found on the Glossary of Planning Terms page.

Upcoming ProjectsMoose-Wilson Corridor Comprehensive Management Plan*Updated August 17, 2026* The National Park Service has approved an amendment to the Record of Decision for the Moose-Wilson Corridor Comprehensive Management Plan. The NPS reevaluated actions that were not selected in the 2016 ROD that could improve recreational access: the multiuse pathway and the realignment of the road segment between Sawmill Ponds Overlook and the Death Canyon Road junction. NPS determined these elements will improve recreational access, and road realignment will also benefit natural resources. The NPS will continue implementing the selected alternative (Alternative C), with these additional changes. At this time, the NPS will work towards implementing the decision and will provide updates as next steps are defined. The NPS has posted the Record of Decision amendment on the project website. Moose-Wilson Corridor Comprehensive Management Plan Frequently Asked Questions
The Department of the Interior is prioritizing implementation of the July 3, 2025, Executive Order 14314, Making America Beautiful Again, focused on improving access, affordability, and visitor experience in national parks.
As part of that effort, DOI and NPS are reviewing policies and decisions that may affect recreational access, including the 2016 Moose-Wilson Road decision. The NPS is re-evaluating the selected action (Alternative C) from the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) from 2016 to evaluate incorporating aspects of the original Alternative D, including adding a separated multi use pathway extending the length of the corridor and realigning a segment of road, with a parallel pathway, between Sawmill Ponds and Death Canyon Road. The evaluation to inform the development of a ROD amendment includes revisiting the analysis completed in 2016. The park will determine if additional analysis is needed. As part of the process to develop a ROD amendment, the park is engaging with subject matter experts to evaluate potential impacts and increased benefits of amending the selected alternative. The public will have an opportunity to be involved with the draft Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to resolve adverse effects to historic properties, consistent with NHPA. If NPS develops a ROD amendment, it will be made publicly available on the project website alongside a Wetland Statement of Findings (WSOF). The park is engaging with Tribes through government-to-government consultation. This effort will consider public and stakeholder feedback provided during the extensive public involvement conducted to inform the 2016 ROD. There were three separate public involvement phases during the development of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Moose-Wilson road corridor: public scoping, public review of the preliminary alternatives, and public review of the Draft Plan/EIS. These public involvement phases included public meetings and opportunities to comment, including an extended public review period for the Draft Plan/EIS. The NPS offered multiple public engagement opportunities during the 2016 Moose-Wilson Road Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and Record of Decision (ROD). Public Scoping:
This is not a new NEPA process. The park is re-evaluating and considering revisions to the selected alternative which may result in the development of a ROD amendment.
The current focus is on evaluating the existing decision in relation to administration and DOI priorities. Any future steps will be addressed following the current evaluation. After evaluation, the NPS may revise the selected alternative and would target an update to the ROD in August of 2026. The current focus is on evaluating the existing decision in relation to administration and DOI priorities. Any future steps will be addressed following the current evaluation.
The current evaluation includes looking at the alignment of a potential multi-use pathway and a section of the Moose Wilson Road as described in Alternative D of the 2016 FEIS to assess both that the original analysis was sufficient and determine if additional information is needed, including for species listed under the Endangered Species Act, cultural resources listed or eligible for listing under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and wetlands. Under the NHPA, Section 106 consultation has been re-initiated with consulting parties.
Yes, work on completing Phase II of the Moose Wilson Road will continue. This is authorized under the selected action in the 2016 Record of Decision, which still stands. Any future amendments to the ROD will not affect Phase II.
Workforce Housing*Updated March 2026* 
NPS photo Renewing Life at Mormon RowMormon Row has a rich cultural history that the National Park Service works to preserve while facilitating visitation in the area. The historic homesteads constitute one of the best representations of an early 20th century farming community within the National Park system. Over the past 25 years, various planning efforts have occurred to maintain Mormon Row's historic integrity and make improvements to the visitor experience. Mormon Row Project Information
Current facilities do not meet visitor needs. There are two unpaved parking lots that can fit 14 passenger cars, roadside bus parking that fits two buses, and a bus turnaround. Other facilities include vault toilets near the T.A. Moulton homestead and some wayside signs. Over time, visitor behavior has resulted in informal vehicle turnarounds, expansion of undesignated roadside parking, and cars parked in the bus-only parking. This has led to vegatation trampling, soil damage, and unclear orientation to the site. The disorganized pattern of parking and vehicle flow contributes to safety issues for pedestrians and cyclists.
We’ve been talking with the public to get input on how people use and enjoy the park, what problems they face, and what could be improved. We’re also asking what kind of resource conditions and opportunties for vistor experiences people hope to see to inform the “desired conditions” that we aim to create and maintain throughout the park. At Mormon Row, the desired condition is to have the historical setting preserved to help visitors imagine how people lived here in the 1900s. Visitors will have a clear sense of arrival as they smoothly move from driving or bicycling to exploring on foot. After parking, they will feel like they've stepped back in time.
To make the area safer and more pleasant for biking, walking and parking, we will move the parking lot to the southeast corner of Antelope Flats Road and Mormon Row and create a pedestrian- and cycling-only area in the historic district. The new parking lot will fit more cars and will have space for buses and large vans. Moving parking away from the buildings will give visitors unobstructed views of the historic structures and the mountains.
Some minor site improvements such as utility work may begin in summer 2025. The majority of work will happen in 2026 or later.
