To create a CBA, advocates should first identify community stakeholders who will be impacted by development, such as residents, business owners, community-based organizations, and local government entities. Next, advocates should create a coalition or organization to represent the community members and stakeholders during negotiations with the developer. The coalition should strive to have consecutive meetings to discuss goals and priorities, such as commercial tenant protections, local hiring, and requiring certain uses of land and building space. CBAs should be executed before development plans are finalized. They are typically drawn up by lawyers and specify the roles and responsibilities of each party, what constitutes a community benefit, and time frames for delivering benefits.
