RESPONSE TO HOME BUILDERS FLIER ON IMPACT FEES: SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION

IMPACT FEE REVOTE

Richmond voters are being asked on December 6, to overturn the new Impact Fee Ordinance recently adopted by the Selectboard. I urge a NO vote. This will leave the new impact fees adopted by the Selectboard in place.

Regarding the true cost of the newly proposed impact fees:

Liz and Bob Low, Richmond, Vermont

The following is a more detailed response to the Analysis done by Richard Heaps of Northern Vermont Consulting (NEC) and commissioned by the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Vermont, the Northwestern Board of Realtors and The Vermont Association of Realtors. Liz Low was a member either of the Richmond Elementary or the Mount Mansfield Union School Boards as well as the Chittenden East Executive Committee for many years. Bob Low currently is a member of the Mount Mansfield Board. Thus, we both have direct experience with school budgets. We make these comments as individual taxpayers: our views must not be construed as those of any of the Chittenden East School Boards.

S.Burlington- Northern Economic Consulting (NEC) has released a study commissioned by the Homebuilders and Remodelers Association of Northern Vermont (HBRA/NV) which shows that there is no financial reason to levy a new proposed impact fee in the town of Richmond, VT.
