Community Benefit Agreements

Over the past few years hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in Chattanooga. But how do we ensure that money is actually benefitting our neighbors, employing our local construction workers, improving our community, and not simply contributing to unjust outcomes in the years to come? Community Benefit Agreements, or CBAs, are one tool that communities are utilizing to make sure development has large scale community improvement outcomes. To walk us through CBAs and how they can improve life in Chattanooga I have two guests, Austing Sauerbrei of the Chattanooga Area Labor Council and Sean Paul Kimball of the local Iron Workers Union. Like our previous discussion on Area Plans, CBAs are another tool for our community to build a more sustainable and resilient future. But like Area Plans, CBAs require our engagement in order to improve our community, they require you to get involved. Hopefully this conversation will inspire just that.
