Developers in Lansing will now pay fees tied more closely to project size, according to The Tompkins Weekly. The town approved a new schedule to fix outdated and uneven charges.
The system bases fees on project cost, ranging from $250 to $4,000. Officials also added caps to prevent excessive charges.
Leaders call it a temporary fix as zoning updates continue. The long-term goal is a more balanced and equitable system.
