Champaign scuttles proposed increase in developers' fees

CHAMPAIGN – The city is backing away from a proposal to increase building permit and other development fees.

Following a contentious meeting Tuesday with about 20 local developers and builders, city officials sent an e-mail Thursday to those developers saying that "we are deferring action on this item until we have more internal consideration of the issues and options."
