Community Benefits
Agreements (CBA’s)
The CBA process helps build trust in communities and creates more sustainable development projects.
Overview
The CBA process helps build trust in communities and creates more sustainable development projects.
A community benefits agreement or CBA is a legally binding agreement between developers and coalitions of community organizations that addresses a broad range of community needs. CBA’s ensure that local residents share in the benefits of major developments in their communities. They elevate the voices of community residents and shift the balance of power in economic development from politicians and developers back toward the community. They enable local residents to have a meaningful seat at the table with public agencies and developers, shaping large scale development projects in their neighborhoods, pressing for community benefits tailored to their needs, and holding developers accountable for their promises.
Our Goal
To establish CBA’s in large development projects like the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall site downtown or San Bernardino International Airport projects managed by the Inland Valley Development Agency like the Airport Gateway Specific Plan.
We see CBA’s as a tool to shift large economic development to reflect the communities’ needs, projects like that at the Carousel Mall site and the San Bernardino International Airport which currently have left the community out of decision making leading to possible housing displacement, development plans that don’t include environmental benefits, and project plans that don’t provide local hire and training to build a sustainable local economy.
