Have you found yourself looking around Summit County and wondering just how much more it can grow, how much more can be built before no space to build upon remains?

The study provided actual and projected numbers for how much development has occurred and how much remains to be built.

The most recent Buildout Analysis was updated December 31, 2019, before anyone knew what was about to happen in the world.

Two words that go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly…” With pandemic restrictions lifted and the feeling we all get gliding downhill on the snow, we can’t think of a more fitting name.

The new Freedom SuperChair will be a high-speed quad lift that…
