  • TOPIC 1: UPCOMING OPEN HOUSES 

    Summit County is holding two public open houses in Kamas and Coalville to gather the public’s input as the Planning Department prepares to write a new General Plan for Eastern Summit County.

    The General Plan is a comprehensive plan addressing the present and future needs of our communities. It is also an advisory document for land use decisions made by the planning commission, county council, and county staff.

    The goal of the Eastern Summit County General Plan is to use information gathered during the 2023 visioning process to create a specific, actionable, and usable plan. Staff will update policies, objectives, and strategies based on community feedback.

    The first open house is Tuesday, June 4 at Ledges Event Center from 6-8 pm.

    The second is Tuesday, June 18 at the Kamas Library/ South Summit Services Building from 6-8 pm.

    Feel free to show up at any time during the 2-hour block. Presentations will be the same at both events.

    TOPIC 2: 2024 PRIMARY ELECTION

    Heads up Summit County Voters! Your ballots for the June 25 Primary Election will be mailed NEXT WEEK on Tuesday, June 4. Local voters should have their ballots around June 7. Learn more at summitcounty.org/elections OR if you have questions you can contact the Summit County Clerk’s Office directly at [email protected].

    TOPIC 3: COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT  

    The Summit County Health Department officially launched its Community Health Assessment! This is a survey that is run every five years and gathers data on social and economic factors such as education, transportation, housing, and healthcare access, that impact the lives of our residents.

    We know you might be tired of taking surveys, but this is an important opportunity to share your experiences to help shape future health programming and initiatives, lending our health professionals perspective on gaps in services provided in Summit County.
