At their March 10, 2014 Conference Agenda meeting, the Mayor and City Commission directed the City Manager to evaluate various incentive programs to accelerate development and attract businesses to Fort Pierce, specifically a qualified target industry (QTI) impact fee mitigation program similar to that adopted by St. Lucie County.

At the December 8, 2014 Conference Agenda meeting, the Economic Development Team presented a final draft ordinance of an Economic Development Impact Fee Mitigation Program. Consensus was to move forward with adoption of the Ordinance as presented.

OTHER INFORMATION:

The current balance of unspent impact fees is $334,299.35. We are unable to calculate the fiscal impact at this time because we don't know how many businesses may take advantage of the program. All program applicants will come before the Commission for approval and the fiscal impact will be calculated at that time.
