IMPACT FEES WHO BENEFITS?

When impact fees are part of
a Master Plan everyone benefits.

Impact fees are monies charged
to developers when they apply
for approval of plans to build
houses, factories, stores, etc.

The fees are charged to everyone
at the same rate. Impact fees
pay for water, sewer, schools,
fire houses, roads, traffic lights
etc. If impact fees are not
charged then "The existing
taxpayers of Camden County
must pick up the infrastructure
costs for the "New Comers." In
other words you pay so someone
you don't even know can move
here.

In addition when property values
go up because of the developments,
who pays? You got it, you do!
So you pay twice and if you can't
foot the bill you must move!!

Is this what you call "FAIR!" I
don't think so. Tell the other
Commissioners you want Impact
Fees Now! Now while they are in
the early stages of designing a new
master plan.
