They look dead in Rogers. The mayor, Steve Womack, says they could hardly do more work than they’re doing now if they were assessing fees on new development. Maybe that’s so (though I doubt it). But they darn sure don’t need to do the reverse of development fees and subsidize new shopping centers with free infrastructure improvements, as Womack has long wanted to do. We note those big fancy shopping centers got built despite lack of the TIF riches that Womack wanted to give away.
