Billionaire Joe Ricketts has ordered crews to immediately stop construction of his long-planned Sublette County luxury resort, and restore the area to its natural condition. A project that would have made a tourist destination out of the tiny, sleepy Hoback River basin community of Bondurant has been called off because of protective wildlife stipulations that abbreviated the construction season. Ricketts sought an exemption from the seasonal restrictions, which he claimed in a memo obtained by WyoFile would have increased the cost of building the high-end all-inclusive resort by $60 million to $100 million, but his request was denied .
