Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and the Orlando City Council recently approved an ordinance that temporarily reduces transportation impact fees by 25% in the City of Orlando, now through June 27, 2012.

This action is intended to promote new construction in the City of Orlando, ultimately creating jobs and economic prosperity in our community. The ordinance encourages the development of new business by reducing fees necessary for business owners to open their doors and also encourages new residential construction by discounting transportation impact fees necessary for single and multi-family residential development.

The new ordinance is part of Mayor Dyer’s Strengthen Orlando initiative, a local effort launched in 2009 to generate jobs and help residents and small businesses “weather the storm” during the national recession.
