2pm to 3:30pm Eastern
Community Benefit Agreements (CBAs) are agreements between developers and coalitions of community organizations interested in mutually reinforcing goals of community and economic development. CBAs address a broad range of community needs and allow community organizations to play a role in shaping a project, to win benefits that are tailored to their community, and to ensure developer's act in the best interests of the community.
This interactive presentation will look at how the community benefits movement has reframed the new development model. And we will look at specific community benefit campaigns, what they have accomplished, and how. Social enterprises are uniquely suited for assisting with CBAs, because of their twin goals of social good and market orientation. We encourage everyone to join us as we learn more about this powerful tool that is emerging as a trend in cities across the country.
