Summit County Commissioner Tamara Pogue has described the area’s housing issue as a crisis in multiple instances.
“This is a crisis,” Pogue said April 29. “This is not something we have ever seen in Summit County, and while I admire the work that Summit County government has done in the 367 units that we’ve built in the past five years, that kind of thinking is not necessarily going to get us to a solution.”
