Summit County Council Holds Hearing on $71 Million Recreation Bond
What happened
The Summit County Council held a public hearing regarding a proposed $71 million bond issue. If approved by voters, the funds would finance new recreation facilities, including a 15,000 square foot fitness center in Silver Creek Village and a 7,000 square foot community center at East Canyon. For primary residences valued at $1 million, the estimated annual tax would be $121, while businesses or second homes would pay approximately $219 in additional tax annually.
