The Gordie Howe International Bridge project, a 7 billion dollar infrastructure initiative connecting Windsor and Detroit, sets a benchmark for community benefits with its formal Community Benefits Agreement. Scheduled for completion in fall 2025, the project incorporates industry leading standards for inclusive and sustainable impact. Developed through engagement with equity deserving groups, the agreement ensures benefits throughout the project lifecycle. Highlights include a Community Benefits Program, quarterly public reporting, and a working group co chaired by community members. With contract clauses, dedicated funding, and strong stakeholder collaboration, the project prioritizes inclusivity, accountability, and risk management.
