CBA should mean "CITY Benefit Agreement"
Room Eight
One voice in a growing chorus of critics of Community Benefits Agreements, Barry Popik illustrates how developers will cut these side deals with those who are willing to receive a handout in exchange for their support of a project.
CBA should mean "city benefit agreement," not "community benefit agreement." Promises of jobs on large projects should be city-wide, not community-wide. Mayor Bloomberg should issue a policy pronouncement on this right now.
