Summit County could have around 140 new child care slots by the end of this year — if projects remain on track
April 9, 2023
Amid a desperate need for child care in Summit County, two major initiatives could bring around 140 new slots for waiting families by the end of this year — so long as the projects remain on track.
Discussed during an April 4 Summit Board of County Commissioners meeting, the two projects — one being built in the town of Silverthorne and the other in Copper — could be open by September and November, respectively.
The projects come as more than 600 children remain on a waitlist for child care in the county, according to Commissioner Elisabeth Lawrence.
