This model ordinance provides a template to help cities develop a community benefits agreement framework with data center developers. The ordinance establishes revenue sharing, restricts caps on the community benefits fund, and prohibits tax abatements. It also outlines eligible uses for community benefit funds and establishes a community advisory board.
