Our Vision for Summit County in 2025 is that …

Summit County offers a high quality of life in an environment in which all our citizens may safely live, work, shop, learn, and play.

Our urban centers are healthy and energetic thanks to measures that allow a mix of land uses, encourage revitalization and redevelopment, and that preserve historic & cultural resources 

Our suburban and rural residential areas offer a variety of housing options that meet the needs of all Summit County residents, including first-time homebuyers, empty nesters and seniors.

Our tax base is strong and diversified due to measures designed to promote the retention and recruitment of responsible, productive business and industry.

 Protecting our shared natural resources is a priority throughout the county, with environmentally sensitive measures that preserve green space, conserve farmland, protect water quality, reduce the impacts of development, and minimize residential sprawl.

 Summit County has created a beautiful, countywide open space emerald network, comprised of connected trail systems and greenways, which provides recreation and tourism opportunities, a biking transportation network, and quality wildlife habitat
