WAIVER OF FILING FEES RECOMMENDED

There is an interesting article on the Cape Cod online news site Capecodonline.com at http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110711/NEWS/107110315/-1/rss02

The Community Health Center of Cape Cod had proposed a $9.25 million expansion program to meet the growing demand for low cost health care. A subcommittee of the Cape Cod Commission has voted to recommend that the Commission waive the nearly $815,000.00 in permitting and planning fees that would otherwise be required by the Commission. Such fees are in addition to the fees that will be required by the local municipal boards. The article is a reminder of the extraordinary costs associated with development in Massachusetts. Absent a waiver, the non-profit health center would have had to raise the $815,000.00. They are very fortunate.
