~ Your Elected Council Member:
Gary Coon and his wife, Norene, moved to Star Valley in 1997 after retiring from a 37 year career with General Motors along with a Tool and Die Consulting business in Michigan. They have two children and four grand children. In his spare time, Gary enjoys hiking, playing his guitar and wood carving.”
“Soon after moving here, I realized Star Valley was about to face many difficult decisions after incorporating. Always enjoying a challenge, I became obsessed with water issues, joined the Water Coalition and in 2008 was elected to Town Council.”
Gary has no problem voicing his opinion with an occasional “Devil’s Advocate” approach to issues. “I do my homework before a meeting. My philosophy is if I can’t mprove it don’t say it”
“I consider Star Valley as an extension of my family and will do whatever I can to ensure the welfare and safety of this community” One of Gary’s accomplishments towards this goal has been to create an Emergency Alert System for Star Valley. “This has been a rewarding experience for me. I have had the opportunity to meet several Star Valley residents going door to door getting them registered into the system.”
