Community Benefits Agreement. An Important Tool in the Growing Twin Cities Equity Movement by Xxxxx Xxxxx, Alliance for Metropolitan Stability I n May of 2001, a broad coalition of community allies in Los Angeles won a major campaign to tie an array of community benefits to the development of a publicly subsidized sports and entertainment complex adjacent to the Staples Center basketball arena. The project is now renowned within equitable development circles, not only because of its significant outcomes for local low-income residents, but because it was the first example of a broad community coalition entering into a legal contract with a private developer to ensure the delivery of specific community benefits. THE “STAPLES CBA” BROUGHT A NEW TOOL TO PEOPLE concerned about how to hold developers accountable to their promises of new jobs, living wages, affordable housing and other benefits for the community. CBA stands for community benefits agreement: a legally enforceable contract, signed by community groups and by a developer, in which the developer agrees to specific outcomes defined by the impacted commu- B A nity. In turn, the community groups agree to publicly support the development. Often implemented in instances where a project receives public subsidies, the premise inherent in the CBA concept is that public investments should have an equitable impact on the lives of local people. Cognizant of the historical failures of many policies to deliver the results promised to communities, CBAs go the further step of affording those affected an ongoing mechanism through which to produce, monitor and enforce beneficial outcomes. Benefits often detailed in CBAs include minority contracting, living-wage requirements, first-source hiring preferences, land banking and affordable housing set-asides, transit integration, and green building techniques. s C t n e m o e e r g A m m s u t i n f i t y e Ben A C B Ultimately, CBAs are based B C Graphic: Xxxxx Xxxxxx A Community Benefits Agreements on the premise that the particular needs of a community should inform the ways in which development there takes place. CBAS ARE NOT A NEW IDEA — THEY BUILD OFF THE HISTORIC STRENGTHS OF GOOD NEIGHBOR AGREE- MENTS. But there are still relatively few examples of fully implemented CBAs throughout the country, and even fewer in Minnesota. The Alliance CBA stands for community benefits agreement: a legally enforceable contract, signed by community groups and by a developer, in which the developer agrees to spec...

Community Benefits Agreement. Minneapolis Makes Wi-Fi Service Socially Responsible by Adding Community Benefits Requirements T By Xxxx Xxxxx, Alliance for Metropolitan Stability hroughout the U.S., there is a growing movement to bridge the “digital divide” — the social, racial, and economic disparities inherent in digital tech- nology and Internet access. Major cities are beginning to create wireless broadband (Wi-Fi) systems as a way to deliver reliable, speedy Internet connections for their citizens. Municipal Wi-Fi systems have become particularly useful to provide Internet service to the small businesses, nonprofit organizations and families who can’t afford — or don’t have access to — broadband service. There’s now a new model for elevating digital divide concerns, thanks to the advocacy work of the Alliance for Metropolitan Stability, the Community Computer Access Network (CCAN), the AmeriCorps Community Technology Empowerment project, and other part- ner groups who formed the Digital Inclusion Coalition. They managed to persuade the city of Minneapolis to require that community benefits language be written into a major new municipal Wi-Fi vendor contract. Minneapolis has made an unprecedented effort to address the digital divide by developing a community-wide Wi-Fi network and attaching specific requirements to the vendor contract for addressing community technology needs.
