College Station Impact Fees with Fred Dupriest

In this episode, Think Brazos Podcast host Charles Coats interviews Fred Dupriest about the use of impact fees for College Station.

What are impact fees? They're basically an up front, one-time charge to a developer (someone who prepares land for or builds a home or business) in order to help the city pay for anticipated future expenses related to the development (water, sewer, roadway, etc). Here's a link to the College Station City website for more information.

As with any policy, there are people for it and against it, and we've interviewed both. Be sure to check out our episode with Randy French on impact fees too.

Whatever you think about impact fees, we can agree that we want all residents of College Station to benefit from the growth we're experiencing.
