SINGLE ITEM PRICE ON MENU BOARD. COURTESY OF COLUMBUS PACIFIC The proposed new employee housing at Canyons Village would house 1,153 employees in seven buildings and could open in the summer of 2022. County Manager Tom Fisher approved the final site plan last Friday, and work could begin as soon as the snow melts. First workers could move in the summer of 2022 ALEXANDER CRAMER The Park Record A major workforce housing project in Canyons Village looks like it’s going to be a reality after a governmental approval Jan. 31, the last significant legislative hurdle in a process that has seen constantly shifting targets and timelines in the 20 years since an initial agreement was signed between the county and the area’s management. The Canyons Village Management Association plans to build housing for 1,153 workers in 169 units over 7.5 acres of county-owned land where Lower Village Road intersects White Pine Canyon Road, just west of S.R. 224 near the main entrance to Canyons Village. The developer said the aim is to start building as soon as possible after the snow melts and anticipates a 24- to 26-month construction window that might mean workers could move in during the summer of 2022. The construction is required to be completed by the end of 2023. County Council Chair Doug Clyde said the deal is “very significant” and that it is consistent with the county’s goals regarding workforce housing and traffic reduction due to its proximity to major transit. Developer Tony Tyler, a partner at Columbus Pacific, called it a “game changer” for the area and said it wouldn’t have been possible without using county-owned land. “The most significant part for me is that this project would not happen without a partnership between Summit County, the CVMA and the private sector,” Tyler said. “It really is a true public-private partnership. I think Summit County recognized the ben- efit they could provide to the county’s employees — specifically seasonal, resort-based employees.” That’s a sentiment echoed by County Manager Tom Fisher, who added that the money the county is using to purchase the land is coming from an assessment of the property owners in the Canyons development area and that the project is not going to be subsidized by the general taxpayer. The land would be leased to the association for 20 years, at which point the association would take ownership. CVMA is obligated to pay taxes on the improvements. “I think it’s definitely innovative for this county,” Fisher said. “If you look at the three bases that we have in our county, even go to the other resort bases in the state, there’s nothing really like this right now.
