Formerly the National Impact Fee Roundtable

You may recall from past conferences a growing interest in expanding the scope of the National Impact Fee Roundtable (NIFR) beyond the subject of just impact fees. In fact, it was happening almost by itself. As the Board deliberated on the decision to change the name, it was considered important that we continue to be the recognized authority on impact fees; clearly a tool that will continue to be part of the public finance tool box. At the same time, we felt it important to limit our focus to “growth-related” infrastructure, in order to maintain our distinction from other planning organizations in which many of us participate.
