James City task force discusses strategies to facilitate affordable housing construction

(RECAP: Members of James City’s housing task force Tuesday discussed ways the county could encourage affordable housing development. The county could consider waiving certain expenses, like building permit fees, and utilizing unused or underutilized county land to provide a location for affordable housing. The county also could consider establishing a budgetary fund that would save a dollar of every $1,000 earned on a land transfer sale to contribute to affordable housing efforts.)
