The goal of last week’s Summit County Housing Action Initiative was to bring various stakeholder groups together to brainstorm initiatives, programs and projects that would help curb Summit County’s affordable housing issue. At the Summit County Commissioners’ work session meeting Tuesday, July 27, county staff and elected officials discussed the six main strategies stakeholders valued the most and identified key players and next steps to move these solutions forward.
The six strategies that were most valued at the housing summit were:
Launching an online clearing house for locals to find housing in and around the county
Summit County will be moving out of Stage 1 fire restrictions beginning Friday, July 30.
The move was made effective at the Summit Board of County Commissioners regular meeting Tuesday, July 27, after an update given by Summit County Undersheriff Peter Haynes during the commissioners’ work session meeting earlier that day.
During his update, Haynes reported that surrounding counties and the U.S. Forest Service were all coming out of Stage 1 fire restrictions Friday and that Summit County Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons recommended Summit County do the same.
Summit County Commissioner Tamara Pogue asked whether all of the county’s towns were on board with the decision, to which Summit County Manager Scott Vargo reported the managers from Blue River, Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Frisco and Dillon were all in agreement.
