In what one community leader called a breakthrough, the citys law department will meet with aldermanic sponsors of a community benefits agreement for the area around the proposed Obama Presidential Center in order to iron out legal issues with their proposed ordinance.
The citys housing department agreed to facilitate the process at a meeting of community stakeholders Tuesday after members of the Obama CBA Coalition held a prayer vigil outside the meeting, said Alex Goldenberg, executive director of Southside Together Organizing for Power and a coalition leader.
Goldenberg said he hopes legal guidance on the ordinance from city attorneys will help shape deliberations of the Woodlawn housing working group, which has been meeting for several weeks under the housing departments aegis.
As proposed by aldermen Leslie Hairston (5th) and Jeanette Taylor (20th), the CBA ordinance would require that 30% of housing development be affordable when city assistance is involved, or when demolition or substantial rehab takes place, and would give tenant groups first right of refusal in the sale of multifamily buildings. It would also dedicate city-owned vacant land for affordable housing and establish a community trust fund that would support property tax relief and other affordable housing strategies.
