So basically raising our taxes (issuong bonds) to fund tgese projects. Yes spread out amongst the entire county. But still we are paying for the developers profits. Even Lakewood only charges like $600 per house impact fee for Cross st. Peanuts compared for the cost of upgrades.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why the County Doesn't have the funds available to cover this. All this construction is a Gold Mine for the county. They get all the revenue, and very little added expenses (unlike the Township, where the expenses outweigh the added tax revenue. what is the County doing with all the money?
DeleteUnbelievable when people want something done they figure out how to do it. And of course paid for by tax money
ReplyDeleteThat expenditure is being reimbursed, with no cost to the taxpayers.
