Summit County Residents
Vision Statements

|
Maintain our quality of
life. This does not mean make no changes. Roads will be widened,
stoplights will be installed, new stores and businesses will be built
and new houses and neighborhoods will be built. BUT...
Do not allow our views to be ruined by tall buildings. Enforce rigid
sign codes and light-pollution standards.
Do not allow our streams and air to be polluted. Do not allow
over-crowding to eliminate our enjoyment of the outdoors. Preserve
historic sites and structures that are worth preserving. RIGIDLY enforce
existing laws that are designed to protect our rights from being
infringed upon by others. (ie. vandalism, drunk driving, noise, theft,
traffic, etc.) Provide adequate protection from fire and enhance safety
in all areas. Insure adequate health care and education.
Jim McNaul
Summit County shall Preserve
and enhance our vibrant, attractive, and prosperous mountain community where
people choose to live, work, recreate, and visit1 while providing essential
governmental services to an expanding number of residents and visitors.
The county shall actively support, and serve as a catalyst for,
inter-governmental / governmental / district cooperation to provide
efficient, integrated governmental services and comprehensive county-wide
planning and development guidance designed to maximize quality of life and
taxpayer value.
1 This is the 2003 Summit County countywide master plan vision statement.
Craig S Suwinski
First, identify those qualities of Summit County which make it desirable to our citizens; then, through consensus building, remain resolute in seeking creative and minimally elitist solutions to maintain those qualities.
Tom Parsons
I envision a county where the citizens and government entities join together as a team. Our towns should work together to solve problems and set goals. Our communities must stop competing for sales tax dollars. Let's not pave over all of Summit County. Let's do our very best with what we have left to develop. Summit County is special...we must work harder to keep it that way.
