COMMUNITY BENEFITS ORDINANCE
WHAT IS DETROIT’S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ORDINANCE? The Community Benefits Ordinance (ORDINANCE NO. 2021-4) is a law that requires developers to proactively engage with the community to identify community benefits and address potential impacts of certain development projects. The ordinance was approved by Detroit voters in 2016 and amended by Detroit City Council in 2021.
NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY COUNCIL
A nine (9) member Neighborhood Advisory Council (NAC) has been established for this community benefits process.
Since Historic Brush Park District is part of District Detroit’s impact area, there are currently 3 Brush Park residents currently serving on the Neighborhood Advisory Council.
District Detroit and the selected NAC are hosting weekly meetings to engage and inform residents on their planned and proposed developments. Below is are the remaining dates and location for these meetings.
