A developer earlier this winter pitched residents on a proposal to incorporate a new city in Summit County that would include 17,000 acres between Browns Canyon Road in the northwest and Democrat Alley outside of Kamas on the east. The blue areas are identified in the proposal as future sites for “urban village” development, while the orange area would be a town center. A partner in the firm says the specifics of the proposal have been altered but that incorporation plans are continuing.
