Last call: 2026 Mental Health Community Survey

Mental health challenges touch all of us. You might not know it, but someone close to you—a friend, neighbor, spouse, or child—could be struggling. In Summit County, about 40% of residents now receive behavioral health services and 20% of students face mental health challenges, so your input matters.

  • Past survey results from three years ago led to:

  • Peer-led youth programs to connect students with support.

  • A trained peer recovery workforce, including certified Peer Support and Family Support Specialists.

  • Summit County’s first sober living / recovery housing options.

  • Alcohol and drug free social programs for safer community connection.

The survey closes in just a few days on February 7, so please take a few minutes to fill it out right now and make a difference in our community

Summit County residents rename the former Skullcandy Building

Summit County residents have given a new name to the building formerly known as Skullcandy. In public voting, the community selected PEAK (Public Engagement at Kimball) Center as their favorite among three finalists.

The three names residents could vote on were selected through a process that began with Summit County officials and staff submitting name ideas for the building in December. County Manager Shayne Scott and Deputy County Manager Janna Young selected their top five submissions, which employees voted on to determine the top three for public vote.

“We appreciate the community’s involvement in this process and we’re eager to establish the PEAK Center as the landmark facility in the Snyderville Basin for our residents,” Deputy County Manager Janna Young said. “We wanted a name that felt local and conveyed how people will use the space. PEAK reflects what the building is meant to be—a place where people engage with county services and staff and participate in the public process.”

Purchased from Skullcandy in 2025, the PEAK Center will house a range of county government services and administrative offices, including a library branch, DMV operations, County Council meeting space, conference rooms, and other public-facing programs. Renovations are underway with a targeted opening date for the ground floor expected before the end of the year.

Summit County is not relocating services or elected offices from the Courthouse in Coalville, which remains the County Seat.
