Commission rejects plea to delay impact fee increases

This is an excerpt from an article in the Naples Daily News:

When the discussion did begin, Fiala seemed inclined to support the delay, but wavered and then came out on the other end when the vote was taken.

 "I thought I was going to vote for it when we started, and then I ended up opposing it," Fiala said. "As I heard the facts, I realized it was not the right thing to do."

She decided that delaying impact fee increases wouldn't do much good, and also decided that there was more of a need for existing homes now on the market to sell,

Fiala said. "Hopefully if prices on new homes are too high, people will look at buying existing homes that are already on the market," Fiala said.
