According to CRG, the county’s proposed three-month fee suspension includes the following: subdivision service fees; building inspection permit fees; and planning, zoning and highway department fees.

The organization also announced it will ask the commission not to proceed on the proposal to build an I-10 service road connecting Bass Pro Shops to the Eastern Shore Centre at Highway 181.

”The primary beneficiaries are two developers who own land that will have an increase in commercial value if the service road is built,” Gover stated. “At a time when the Baldwin County Commission is cutting staff—including two natural resource planners—it is inexcusable to spend $7 million for an environmentally destructive road that will primarily benefit two large landowners and developers, and which will benefit road construction companies and those that supply road building equipment but will provide little, if any, benefit to county taxpayers.”
