March 3, 2023 – Dakota Pacific Development Agreement, Summit County’s Restaurant Tax Grant Application Process Begins



Intro 

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another week of news here on Summit in 6.

We’ll kick things off with the latest info involving the Dakota Pacific Development Agreement. Then, we’ll talk about some important information regarding the County’s Restaurant Tax Grant application process. Finally, we’ll finish up with info about another survey opportunity involving the Summit County visioning project, “Our Summit.”

Ok…let’s get into the news. 

Dakota Pacific 

At this week’s County Council meeting, a public hearing took place regarding Dakota Pacific Real Estate’s application to amend their development agreement for the land commonly referred to as the Park City Tech Center. More than 100 community members showed up to express their opinions about the amendment application to the council. 

From here, there will be one more public hearing opportunity for the public to provide input on Dakota Pacific’s latest proposal to both the developers and the Council before a decision is made. The final hearing will take place next week on Wednesday, March 8 from 6 pm-8:30 pm at the Ecker Hill Middle School Auditorium. 

Then on Wednesday, March 15, the Council will meet again with Dakota Pacific representatives and, hopefully, on that date make a final decision regarding the proposal. 

RAP Tax

The Restaurant Tax Grant Application is now OPEN. To apply or to learn more about the restaurant tax grant, please visit summitcounty.org, then hit the “services” tab and navigate to “grant information”.

There is also an opportunity to join a workshop this Monday, March 6th at the Coalville Courthouse Executive Conference Room (located at 60 N Main Street in Coalville). The workshop will start at 10AM and will cover the application process, review application guidelines/deadlines, and discuss financial reporting guidelines. We hope to see you there!

Community Visioning 

And, last but certainly not least, Summit County is undertaking a community visioning plan to establish a roadmap for the future of our County! Community members have the opportunity to take the “Summit County Talks” survey now through March 31.

The questionnaire is an important opportunity to share how you view Summit County as it is now, what you love about our community, and what opportunities you see for it in the next 10-20 years. The survey is available at oursummitcounty.com. 

We’ll also be at the Summit County and Park City Art Council’s Winter Art Showcase NEXT weekend March 10 through the 12th. Stop by and support local artists at the Winter Arts Showcase and find Our Summit Project representatives at the event. Help us visualize what elements make up Summit County to YOU! Together, we’ll create a fun art installation about Summit County for and by the community who calls it home.
