The Strategic Initiative to Implement Impact Fees for
Development seeks to equitably distribute the costs of
growth-related infrastructure improvements by imposing
fees on new residential,commercial,and industrial projects.
These fees,calculated based on the projected impact of
development on public services such as roads,parks, Public
Safety,will generate a dedicated revenue stream to fund
capital projects without overburdening existing taxpayers.
The initiative involves establishing a transparent fee
structure,informed by comprehensive studies of local
growth patterns and infrastructure needs,while ensuring
compliance with legal standards and stakeholder input. By
linking development directly to its fiscal footprint,this
strategy promotes sustainable expansion,supports
community resilience,and maintains the quality of public
services for all residents.
