SUMMARY:Who Owns the Upside
DESCRIPTION:As billions flow into clean energy\, AI infrastructure\, and the modernization of our cities\, a critical question remains: Who owns the upside? How do we ensure communities aren't simply hosting infrastructure investments\, but sharing in the wealth they generate?\nDr. Reginald Parker\, President of Freedmen Green Bank & Trust\; Jordan Taylor\, CEO of SynergyGrid\; and Kasheef Wyzard\, National Director of Economic Opportunity at Dream.Org\, will facilitate a conversation exploring how Community Benefit Agreements\, Community Benefit Trusts\, and innovative ownership models can transform infrastructure investment into lasting economic opportunity.\nFrom local jobs and entrepreneurship to community ownership and wealth creation\, the discussion will examine how cities\, developers\, and capital partners can build projects that deliver returns for investors and the communities they serve.\n\nSession ID: be3dcf40-5266-459c-af42-a6a5cc8f274e\n\nhttps://afrotechconference.com/schedule#session-be3dcf40-5266-459c-af42-a6a5cc8f274e
