This event is important for anyone who wants the people of Buffalo to take the lead in creating the city’s future.
Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) can make the difference between projects that benefit only a few and projects that can create racial and economic justice in our region.
The speakers on the panel will present the latest research on how to negotiate strong, accountable CBAs and what it takes to enforce them once development projects are underway.

Prof. Robert Silverman, UB Center for Urban Studies
John Washington, PUSH Buffalo
Sam Magavern, Partnership for the Public Good, Open Buffalo
