Introduce law requiring developers to provide community benefits city-wide
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no standard requirements for what developers must give back to neighborhoods when building new projects. The proposed law would create consistent rules for community benefits like affordable housing, local hiring, or park improvements. If approved after a second reading, all future development projects must negotiate specific benefits with the city.
