Lake County Commissioners approve suspension of transportation impact fees for one year.

TAVARES — In an effort to rally the local economy, the Lake County Board of County Commissioners approved an ordinance at its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday that suspends the collection of transportation impact fees on new developments beginning today for one year.

According to the approved ordinance, which can be found online,:

“The Board of County Commissioners wish to stimulate the local economy by encouraging economic development and promoting job creation; and transportation impact fees are applicable to all types of developments, including residential, commercial, office and industrial development, and can be a substantial component of a developer’s total development costs.”

|“I look at this at helping small businesses,” said Commissioner Linda Stewart.

Commissioner Jimmy Conner said, ““We’ve had some people come here today and say our vote today will determine if some of these projects will move forward. I’m confident that there will be some level of job creation as a result of this vote.”

At The Sterner Group we strive to exceed our client’s expectations because we are happy when we know you are happy. Most recently, we completed a full scale medical building development project for Dr. R. Siva, M.D., a Board Certified Internist in Ocala, Florida.

When asked what the Siva’s enjoyed most about working with The Sterner Group, Mrs. Siva responded “I didn’t have to worry about anything because every detail was taken care of. This entire project was completed from the ground up in 2 months!”

The Siva’s really enjoyed having the opportunity to put their own personal touch into the development of their office and creating a layout that suited their needs.

“I was most surprised by the punctuality of the project,” said Mrs. Siva. “The project was finished exactly when Mr. Sterner said it would.”
