The county says it\u2019ll pay people up to 60 thousand dollars if they build, or convert existing spaces, to be rented out to locals. The hope is that the incentive will drive more owners to build so-called \u201cAccessory Dwelling Units,\u201d that can be rented long-term to people working in the county\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

County Commissioner Tamara Pogue (POHG) adds that if property owners take that cash from the county, they can\u2019t go listing those units as vacation rentals on sites like Airbnb. They\u2019ll have to rent to people who work 30 hours or more a week in Summit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
