Hi Impact Fee Advisory Committee,
I understand that tomorrow afternoon the City will be reviewing the Street Impact Fee
schedule that includes improvements to Griffin Drive. As a business owner/leader inBozeman, philanthropic contributor to HRDC, and community member, I urge you to
prioritize the Griffin Drive improvements and maintain the schedule to complete theseimprovements during FY 2022.
The Griffin Drive improvements are essential to HRDC's plans to construct a new year-round
homeless shelter and food bank facility off of Griffin Drive. Deferring improvements toGriffin Drive will result in construction delays and added costs; it may also introduce
significant risk to the project.
HRDC's Griffin Place project is essential to support the needs of our rapidly expandingcommunity and to address the affordable housing crisis in Bozeman. I ask that you keep these
community needs at the forefront when considering the Griffin Drive improvement scheduleduring tomorrow's meeting.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if I may provide additional input or perspectives.
Best,
Abby
