Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore Votes to Streamline Affordable Housing Construction by Suspending Impact Fees on New Projects

Idea Category: Housing

Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore and the rest of the Board of Supervisors have voted to streamline the construction of affordable housing by temporarily suspending impact fees for new projects.
