Impact Fees
On Tuesday the 10th at Mayor and
Council study session, the idea of suspending impact fees
for a year was discussed. The idea was put forward by
Council Member Glassman and Council Member Scott made a
motion to create a stakeholders group that would examine
this impact fee idea as well as another idea put forward
by Council Member Scott as a possible economic stimulus to
the region. The Tucson Association of REALTORS® is included in this committee and we are represented by Laura Mance with Coldwell Banker. Tuesday the 17th was the first meeting of the group which will
meet twice a week for the next month.
