Why This Race is Important
Overdevelopment & High-Density Projects
Without Together for Summit’s leadership, Summit could see large-scale, high-density projects move forward. Opponents have signaled support for dense, tax-negative projects, including all-affordable developments on critical city-owned sites.
Protecting Summit’s Character
Overdevelopment risks changing the small-town charm, scale, and livability of Summit’s neighborhoods. Traffic congestion, school overcrowding, and strain on infrastructure could follow if density is unchecked.
Fiscal Responsibility
Together for Summit has prioritized tax-positive development and safeguarding taxpayer dollars. Opposing policies could saddle residents with higher taxes while producing little community benefit.
Public Safety & Quality of Life
Hiring more police, investing in deterrent measures, and keeping Summit safe could fall off the priority list if new leadership reallocates focus and funds.
