City of Galesburg incentives to developers for more housing to attract more homeowners to city.

I like the idea; to give an incentive to developers to build new housing is a win-win–win for the developers, the city and for the new home-buyers coming to the Galesburg area, which is in need of more high-end housing, especially if the purpose is to increase property tax revenue and attract bigger business owners and employers.   I’d also like to see an incentive program to help other buyers renovate existing homes and buildings — to improve and beautify the neighborhoods, ultimately bringing in more tax monies, and reducing the number of abandoned buildings in and around our Burg.
