New England for Offshore Wind and Black Economic Council of Massachusetts co-hosted Empowering Communities with Offshore Wind: How a Community Benefits Agreement Can Bring Positive Change, a two-part webinar series shedding light on the vital topic of Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) in offshore wind development.
