Coolidge council ponders 8-percent hike to impact fees
by Rofida Khairalla | Coolidge Examiner
Coolidge is preparing to potentially raise impact fees to help the city adjust to incoming growth.
The city previously lowered the fees in an effort to attract new businesses. However, with corporations expressing growing interest in Coolidge, officials now believe the community may just be gearing up for a boom.
Impact fees are charged to new builders and provide city government with the financial means to support new capital facilities. The capital projects fees can be used in areas that support growth, including the library, parks, police, fire, streets and wastewater.
