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.

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 .
