City of Richmond Proposed Development Cost Charge Increase

UDI Lower Mainland submission to City of Richmond.

Instead, we encourage the City to explore reductions to DCCs while continuing to work collaboratively with industry and other levels of government on solutions that support both infrastructure funding and housing delivery.
