Impact Fee Meeting 3/8/06

Aloha,
Do you support the idea of generating more revenue for West Hawaii infrastructure?
Then attend the workshop on Impact Fees being held at 2:00pm on March 8th at Yano Hall in Captain Cook.
The County of Hawaii is working on a long overdue Impact fee policy and draft ordinance to replace the current fair share assessment system. The following quote come from Duncas Associates, the firm who is currently working with the County. Duncan Associates is one the national authorities on impact fees.
"Over the past quarter century, impact fees have become an integral part of local government infrastructure financing. ...... Because of them, the phrase “growth should pay its own way” is now part of our national vocabulary."
The County is moving ahead in developing an Impact Fee program, but there are options that need to be examined in order to adopt a program that works best for this Island. Come to the workshop, learn more, and support this effort!
Here is the link to the web site put togerther by Duncas Associates to educate people about this important tool. http://www.impactfees.com/
