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.
What We Worked On
Early Actions Community Investment Agreement
Signatories discussed the importance of finalizing the Early Actions Community Investment Agreement and outlined a timeline for its completion.
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.
Phase 2 Protections
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.
Community Coordination
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.
