1wa123almost 3 years agoMore Student Oriented Development
Urbana should allow and promote more campus oriented development, especially focusing on student housing. The university is the economic engine of this community and the City should capitalize on it. As it stands now, as disproportionate amount of property tax, sales tax, and per capita transfers from the state go to the other municipality in this town. This results in a higher tax burden on urbana and lower provision of government services

Large apartments are not equal to rooming houses and harm neighborhood character and desirability.
