2020: Harley Wilcox is on the public side of the table

Teton County's FY2020 financial statements list Harley Wilcox as District 2 commissioner.

The public-office record is the first dated anchor in the timeline before the later private-side planning and brokerage records.

2021 to 2023: Harley Wilcox reappears on the private land-use side, and West Group is based in Victor

By 2021, county planning records show Harley Wilcox as the applicant for an M-1 code amendment. By 2023, the planning record shows him seeking scenic-corridor review for five lots in Alpine Acres Subdivision. In the same broader period, Harley's brokerage page presents him as a developer, investor, and builder at West Group Real Estate.

West Group's own site says the company is based in Victor, Idaho and markets Victor, Driggs, Tetonia, Jackson and beyond.

2024: Anthony Wilcox and Harley Wilcox keep showing up in county rooms

Official 2024 county records place Anthony Wilcox in repeated comment appearances on ethics, committee video standards, Zoom and GIS policy, subdivision issues, and map-layer requests. The May 14, 2024 planning record also places both Anthony Wilcox and Harley Wilcox in opposition during the same hearing.

The 2024 county records place the Wilcox name repeatedly in county process while Harley is already established on the private real estate side.

The party lane is running in parallel, not separately

The public Teton County Idaho GOP page lists Ed Yeager as county chair and Heather Wilcox as Precinct 7 leader. The same page says the organization advocates for families, property owners, farmers, entrepreneurs, and natural resources.

The county party's own language names property owners, farmers, entrepreneurs, western heritage, and natural resources as public priorities.

2025 to 2026: the state pushes Driggs 160 forward anyway

The Idaho Department of Lands' July 15, 2025 recap says the Land Board approved the Driggs 160 for public auction. The later reconsideration packet shows Ron James declining to join the county objection letter. Idaho's current sale page now lists the parcel as an active auction with a $5 million reserve and routes buyers through Bottles Real Estate Auctions.

The state land-sale record closes this timeline with a live public-land auction connected to named officials, letters, and a private auction broker.
