Abstract

Community benefits agreements (CBAs) have risen in popularity and usage in the twenty-first century. Despite their intuitive appeal, usage has remained relatively infrequent due to legal and practical difficulties. Globally, various policies share key goals and characteristics with CBAs, including place-based development, community engagement, and applicability to large projects. This paper uses an Extending Review to answer the question, what do allied policies teach us in terms of innovations and best practices that could improve CBA practice in the United States? This paper advances rights-based strategies, tools, and frameworks for consideration, while discussing the potential and challenges of each.
