URGENT UPDATE: Summit County has just announced that applications are now open for critical positions on its Countywide Planning Commission, four Basin Planning Commissions, and the Board of Adjustment. This is a vital opportunity for residents to influence the future of their community.
All applicants must be full-time residents of Summit County. For those interested in the Basin Planning Commissions, residing in the specific basin—Lower Blue, Upper Blue, Ten Mile, or Snake River—is mandatory. The deadline to submit applications is February 2, 2024, at 5 p.m.
The county’s official release emphasizes that while prior experience in land use, planning, development, or construction is preferred, it is not a strict requirement. This means that even those new to these fields have a chance to make an impactful contribution.
To apply, candidates should send a letter outlining their interest and qualifications to [email protected]. For any questions, interested individuals can reach out directly to Margaret Citak at 970-668-4083.
These commissions play a crucial role in implementing the county’s Land Use and Development Code, acting as authorities on land-use decisions. Their work shapes community development, influencing future land use policies and regulations that affect every resident.
Residents are encouraged to take this opportunity to participate in the decision-making processes that will shape Summit County’s landscape for years to come. With the deadline fast approaching, those who feel passionate about their community must act quickly to secure their chance to serve.
Stay tuned for more updates as this application period progresses, and be part of the change in your county!
