In a recent meeting, the Jefferson County Commission, as reported by The Journal, approved the implementation of residential impact fees starting June 1, 2025, while discussing non-residential fees and the potential for a fee cap to attract larger businesses like data centers. Despite differing opinions among commissioners about the necessity and timing of these fees, the vote to accept the motion was unanimous. Concerns were raised about the impact on law enforcement funding and the implications of attracting large data centers to the county. The commission decided to gather further data before finalizing the cap on non-residential fees.
