During February, the Hermosa CPBA Signatories continued advancing both the Early Actions Community Investment Agreement and the broader Community Protection & Benefit Agreement, with a focus on clarity, coordination, and responsible communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What We Worked On<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early Actions Community Investment Agreement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Signatories discussed the importance of finalizing the Early Actions Community Investment Agreement and outlined a timeline for its completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Signatories discussed how the longer-term CPBA can follow a similar format as the Agreement, while incorporating additional protections and broader needs-based actions beyond Early Actions. Specific revisions and required elements were identified for further development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phase 2 Protections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Signatories reviewed and evaluated Phase 2 proposals from experts around environmental protections. Once scheduling and role alignment are confirmed, written notice of contract award is anticipated, with a target of finalizing a contract by March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Community Coordination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As work progresses, Signatories remain focused on coordination, transparency, and clarity. The goal is to ensure that both short-term and long-term agreements are clearly structured and communicated to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n February Website Submissions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These submissions are considered and discussed by the Signatories as part of community engagement efforts to understand community concerns and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
