Dan Gillenwater: My project focused on improving neighborhood-open space connectivity, which is called for in several regional planning documents. Specifically, I recommended options for creating a safe connection between the Trailside neighborhood and Round Valley Open Space in the Snyderville Basin.

Anna Pillman: Due to the major development still to come and the status of our already strained natural resources, I proposed that Summit County adopts LEED as a green building standard. LEED is a pre-existing framework that's measurable, easy to follow and has proven results. I proposed a variety of potential incentives that the county could offer to both owners and developers in order to gain traction for the program.

Lo Bannerman Dennis: To assist Summit County residents and local organizations with reaching one another, we hope to build a community center that could include: office space for administrative work and meetings; event space for fundraisers and gatherings; education space for life skills, hobbies, arts, and more; gardens and outdoor space for connecting with our food and natural environment; a shop selling local goods and artwork; and a home for those seeking a little more community. Whether people are in transition, living with developmental differences, navigating frailty and age, raising littles, starting a business, or just looking for that deeper meaning of life, all are welcome here.
