In an article published by The Spirit of Jefferson, the author reflects on the stark differences between development in Bend, Oregon, and Jefferson County, West Virginia. They emphasize the importance of increasing impact fees for parks and recreation as the county's population grows, advocating for higher standards from developers to maintain the area's quality of life. The author argues that the current impact fees are insufficient, particularly in terms of funding for parks and recreation facilities, which are crucial for the community's infrastructure and livability.
