Construction companies in Atlanta have cause for concern–it’s been reported by local news that local governments are proposing the idea of charging developers more to build homes, commercial properties and offices. The fees from these projects are redirected and used to maintain parks, roads, fire stations and police facilities in the area. In Atlanta, these fees have not been touched in almost twenty years.

The Atlanta movers are concerned and also cautious at this potential change considering the delicate state of new construction and the footing that has yet to be re-established. Imposing fees right now could cause further setbacks, which is something government needs to seriously weigh. Making it more expensive to perform construction jobs and build housing will be detrimental to the fragile state of Atlanta.
