Fairhope, Alabama
Update: This deal was called off because a purchase price could not be agreed on.
USING IMPACT FEE MONEY
Final details are being worked out for the purchase of forty acres south of Twin Beech Road near the Young Street intersection to be used for the city's future recreation needs.
Funding will be from impact fees charged on new development ... so there will be no borrowing or interest to be paid.
Sources say that some of the Barnwell practice and playing fields could be relocated there some day as well; the property is relatively flat so minimal grading will be required, a potentially expensive component when new fields are constructed.
Impact fees funds may be used only for new parks and recreation, police, fire, and transportation projects.

Unbelievable! Has the City Council and/or Mayor lost all sense of reason?
I think the sewer upgrade effort is progressing OK. I understand that a reasonable person could want things resolved more quickly. I think the Mayor/ council clearly are moving prudently and they have clearly made repairing the system a priority.
