SUBJECT:
Discussion regarding waiver, deferment, reduction or similar
relief for utility, water, sewer, or similar fees for affordable housing
development
DATE:
August 1, 2006
The Workforce Housing Task Force has determined that developing workforce and affordable
housing has become more difficult and more costly in Monroe County. Any inducement that the
County can provide for workforce housing might be the difference in the ability for a development to
proceed. Many other communities waive building, permitting and other fees for affordable housing
projects.
