Community Planning Lab
The Community Planning Lab is a course designed for Summit County residents, community leaders, business owners, and other community stakeholders who want to be more engaged in and better understand processes that drive local planning and land use policy decisions. The course aims to empower community members to be more involved in shaping the future of Summit County.

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.
