Avondale Hopes To Attract Development By Using $2M To Offset Impact Fees

Avondale’s plan is to set aside the $2 million balance it had in its budget to pay 20 percent of impact fees for new commercial and residential developments on a first-come-first-serve basis.

For more, we turn to Dan Davis, Avondale’s economic development director.

We also talked with KJZZ’s Business Correspondent Kristena Hansen about what impact fees are and how cities use them.
