Why Attend?
Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) advocate for equitable development by outlining the benefits in exchange for supporting a development project or rezoning but are highly criticized for several weaknesses:
Developers and stakeholders need more enforceability and accountability mechanisms. Â
The potential for power imbalances in negotiations can skew benefits towards more powerful stakeholders, leaving smaller or less organized groups disadvantaged. Â
CBAs commonly focus on short-term gains, neglecting long-term impacts and sustainability.Â
Therefore, while CBAs have the potential to be a valuable tool, their weaknesses are being carefully examined and mitigated to ensure that they truly serve the best interests of all stakeholders.
