Joe Ricketts is again seeking permits for a luxury resort on the Upper Hoback River. The proposed development, called The Confluence, includes a lodge and 20 suites with construction planned to begin this fall.

Joe Ricketts has proposed a new project called The Confluence, which includes a lodge, spa, and 20 guest suites on the Upper Hoback River. The billionaire previously halted work in the area after Sublette County officials refused to lift seasonal construction bans meant to protect wintering elk and moose. This new proposal is only the first phase of a development expected to continue through 2031.
