City Proposing Host Of Fee Changes To Yield $639,096
posted February 19, 2010

The city of Chattanooga is proposing a host of fee changes that would yield $639,096 in new income for the city.

Richard Beeland of the mayor's office said a number of the fees had not been adjusted in many years.

He said the City Council earlier asked that the fees be checked to see if changes were warranted.

The new fees are reportedly rankling members of the construction industry. Officials of the Associated General Contractors said 30 local contractors had gone out of business in recent months.
