The owners of the former Colby School have received a permit from Summit County to open a bed-and-breakfast, which, barring an appeal, ends a multiyear, multi–lawsuit fight regarding the Victorian-style mansion that has been empty for years.
The site has been used as a hotel and a school in the past, but the county has recently and repeatedly denied the owners’ applications for commercial uses, and the main building has been empty since 2008, according to a report from county staffers
.
The 5-acre site is across S.R. 224 from the Canyons Village base area and includes three outbuildings and the Victorian mansion.
