Uinta · WY · FIPS 56041

Evanston (Uinta County, ~50 min SW of Kemmerer) hosted divisive debates 2017-2020 over detention facility proposals from Management Training Corporation and CoreCivic. Both companies eventually withdrew.

Uinta County Commissioner Mark Anderson declined to pursue Sabot’s more recent approach.

Pattern: multiple private prison companies targeting the same economically distressed SW Wyoming corridor.
