Community Benefits Snapshot: Stellantis Community Benefits Agreement (Negotiated under Detroit’s Community Benefits Ordinance)
This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute details the Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) negotiated between Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler) and the city of Detroit for the $2.5-billion expansion of the Jefferson North Assembly Plant.
