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.

It looks like the Developer is trying to undermine the will of the voters, after failing to do so during the election. It’s time to end this corporate welfare and let the market set the standard.
