The news will look better and be easier to comment on. And, you’ll find more local voices to keep you in the loop with the latest know-how and opinion

• In an effort to develop a market-supportable improvement plan that protects the existing assets and attributes within the Downtown and sets the stage for sustained but managed growth for future generations, Summit is asking for the public's help with a comprehensive planning study of downtown Summit and immediate surrounding areas. On Wednesday, at City Hall at 7:30 p.m., Summit is hosting a Town Hall and is encouraging the public to attend.
