Belleville council could hear from developers at its meeting Monday as it holds a public meeting into proposed new development charges.
A consultant’s report suggests development charges on a new single-family house in urban Belleville should be around $24,000 which would be a significant increase over the $14,300 now being charged to developers.
Development charges are levied against builders who in turn pass it on to home buyers to help pay for extra city services such as fire, police, and parks and recreation that become necessary because of new housing and commercial growth.
The public meeting will be part of Monday’s regular council meeting which starts at 4 p.m. The meeting can be seen on the city’s YouTube site.
