Resort may bring windfall - al.com: "ORANGE BEACH — Should the proposed Wyndham & Winfield Resort Hotel and Convention Center win approval from the City Council and financing from lenders, the impact fees its developers would pay could, at the least, double all of last year's collections, municipal officials said this week.

In fact, regardless of whether the fees for the Gulf-front resort are near city officials' low estimate of $1.2 million or closer to their high-end guess of $2 million, Orange Beach's take would exceed the $822,026.54 in impact fees assessed by Orange Beach since late 2006, when collections began."
