Learn more about Community Benefits Agreements and how they are used.
Across the country, communities, developers, and elected officials are quarreling about the siting of significant economic development real estate projects. On the one hand, areas starved of capital and population need investment and jobs to continue to grow. On the other, neighbors concerned with adverse uses and groups concerned with equitable development seek fairness in a market-based, amoral process.
Enter the Community Benefits Agreement. Community Benefits Agreements are contracts, the result of which will avoid litigation and additional needs for dispute resolution after the fact. At the same time, Community Benefits Agreements are also an indication of competing interests--those of a broad and sometimes undefined community and developers.
Join this discussion to learn more about Community Benefits Agreements and how they are used nationwide in complex, dense land use and economic development projects. We tackle definitional issues, practical aspects, and enforcement concerns and discuss case studies to make the subject relevant to practitioners, industry leaders, and implementers.
