Utah's Summit Sued

Can this happen in your neck of the second-home woods? A coalition that includes the NAACP, La Raza and the Disabled Rights Action Committee has charged in federal court in Salt Lake City that the dearth of affordable housing in Summit County violates the federal Fair Housing Act. That's where Deer Valley and Park City are. But the suit centers on unincorporated areas since Park City itself has a 20-year track record of fostering affordable housing. In an interview in a local paper, County Commission Chairman Bob Richer denied the claims.
