State Highway 89, which passes through the middle of town, was evaluated in the context of potential improvements, within and adjacent to the highway right-of-way, that might stimulate more commercial highway business. 

The opportunity to develop a community trail system was considered to provide greater accessibility and recreational opportunities for pedestrians, bicyclists, cross-country skiers, snowmobilers.  This evaluation also takes into consideration the potential connection of a community trail system to a regional trail network that is being considered for Lincoln County’s Star Valley area.  The potential establishment of a community bus system was also considered by PPC.

The capacity of municipal water and sewer system was evaluated to consider the capability of these systems to support anticipated population growth and related land use expansion.  The same analyses are also being applied to the evaluation of potential annexation opportunities north of Alpine where the development of residential and commercial areas are in progress.

The municipal master plan includes a revised community land use plan that will depict the type and location of future land use expansion that is desired by the community.  Community development strategies were also developed to help organize future efforts that will be undertaken by the Town of Alpine, small business owners, community organizations, and the community-at-large. These strategies outline a combination of community development efforts that address the marketing of the community, infrastructure improvements, private commercial investments, and other community facilities aimed to improve the quality of life in Alpine.
