Community Benefits Agreements: Opportunities and Traps for Developers, Municipalities, and Community Organizations

 

Abstract

A Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) is a private contract negotiated between a prospective developer and community representatives. In essence, the CBA specifies the benefits that the developer will provide to the community in exchange for the community's support of its proposed development. A promise of community support may be especially useful to a developer seeking government subsidies or project approvals.
