Coalition calls on Bills, state and county to promise benefits to community in stadium deal
“The coalition wants clauses in the new stadium deal that will fund wellness programs, housing programs, and youth sports programs, as well as better public transportation to-and-from the stadium, and opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses.
‘The reason the Community Benefits Agreements are in increasing use all over the country is because voters, taxpayers have held that a massive expenditure of public money without any public benefit is fundamentally unjust,’ said Miles Gresham, Policy Fellow at the Partnership for Public Good.”
