Hi Everyone,
Today, is day one of the effort to increase and improve the communciations of the One Hill Community Benefits Agreements (CBA) process through blogging. The discussion of CBAs can become a little complex, but essentially they are...
"deals between developers and coalitions of community organizations, addressing a broad range of community needs — are safeguards to ensure that affected residents share in the benefits of major developments.They allow community groups to have a voice in shaping a project, to press for community benefits that are tailored to their particular needs, and to enforce developer’s promises." (Community Benefits Agreements-Making Development Projects Accountable)
The One Hill CBA process was begun by the Hill District Consensus Group and Pittsburgh United and is now a body unto itself working to decide what are the key priorities (jobs, housing, children's center, etc,) that we should seek support for with the public dollars being given to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The One Hill CBA meetings are being held on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. at the Hill House Association in the Kaufmann Program Center, so get involved!
