Reducing impact fees – will it spur Payson growth?

Payson’s C.C. Cragin project used years of impact fees to study, develop and build. Although the Payson council is looking at reducing the water development impact fee, it’s not gone yet.

Love ’em.

It could run a new business $50,000 or more to hook up to town water and the Northern Gila County Sanitary District.
