The increase will further decimate businesses impacted by the Pandemic and will make investing in Sumter County by potential incoming business less palatable and will likely steer many away. Also I am even more concerned that we may lose the potential for UF to build a hospital and medical facilities in the south which is definitely needed with our growth in population. The raising of the impact fees will damage our Community for years to come.

Seems to me after 10 plus years, the commission never raised home taxes very much , then tried 25% and got booted out. Now the replacements are trying to tap commercial sources. The news quotes appear substantial. I think the county and commission is too pro growth and should be slowed down. We don't want or need to be the fastest in the country, it leads to these problems. We don't need to stifle business owners either.
