Feedback Survey
Community Benefits Agreements are an important tool for making sure that all residents benefit from the large-scale development projects. Community Benefits Agreements can make the difference between projects that benefit a few and projects that can further the cause of racial and economic justice. The speakers on the panel will present research that addresses some of the issues in negotiating strong, accountable Community Benefits Agreements and what it takes to enforce them once the projects are under way.
