Receive presentation about creating hiring rules for construction on city-owned land
In Plain English
The building trades union wants to create a Public Lands Policy requiring developers to hire Richmond residents for construction projects on city property. The policy aims to provide apprenticeships and middle-class jobs for local high school graduates, veterans, and formerly incarcerated residents. If approved, contractors building on city land must meet local hiring standards and pay family-sustaining wages.
