    The proposed action plan includes four primary projects designed to infuse more community benefits into Detroit development practice:

    – Advocating for Detroit to adopt an incentive zoning policy
    – Encouraging Detroit to adopt stronger engagement and noticing requirements for developments
    – Establishing equitable development standards for publicly-owned land
    – Collaborating to negotiate a community benefits agreement for a large-scale project
    – Collaborating to support the Access for All program, designed to train more Detroiters and people of color to enter the construction trades
    – Collaborating to reach mutual understanding about how to revamp Detroit’s Community Benefits Ordinance
