The Fayette City Council is hoping new construction incentives will bring new houses and businesses to Fayette.  At the July 15 council meeting, the council passed a Resolution offering some great construction incentives for new homes or new businesses.  The Council passed another Resolution clarifying some of these incentives that we will post soon.  The new construction incentives are listed below.  For more information, contact Fayette City Hall at 563-425-4316 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
