Notable Quotes (3)
If we do anything to fees kind of make kind of dangle that carrot out there for affordable housing it's going to require some kind of buying from the city.
I don't know that I love the fee waivers although it's going to take something to get affordable housing and recognizing that it's the case I think I'd be interested in exploring that a little bit more.
In order to qualify for TIF this is a State requirement you have to be able to show that but for that tax increment your project wouldn't happen.
