A process is placed that allows for social justice to take place in the development phase.
"Commercial and Industrial developers have to go through the following process when proposing for a building:
- Reference the city’s ERI and prepare a checklist of pollutants
- Submit checklist and development application to the city
- Checklist goes to the Environmental Commission
- Checklist goes to the Planning or Zoning Board (where appropriate)
The public has full access to this checklist to weigh in on it and make their voices heard."
