Has anyone run across any current research as to the effect of impact fees on economic development, specifically trying to attract new businesses?
Our community will try to tweak the current impact fee program in order to reduce fees for new commercial and industrial development in order to attract more jobs. It seems to me that a corporate headquarters would not want to move to a community that has any impact fees because the fees may be seen as a growth control measure where new housing or needed neighborhood commercial is being broadcasted "need not even apply."
