[Massplanners] Racial Equity Impact Assessment tool

[Duperault, Joy (DCR)]

Greetings. I think these folks might be able to help: https://www.mass.gov/orgs/environmental-justice-council?_gl=1*w0y9cf*_ga*MTc3OTE1ODY2Ny4xNjkxNjk0MTYw*_ga_MCLPEGW7WM*MTY5NTkyMDk5NS4yMy4wLjE2OTU5MjA5OTUuMC4wLjA.

Also the MA MVP program is involved with some of this, too. Check out their EJ &Equity toolkit: https://www.mass.gov/doc/mvp-environmental-justice-equity-toolkit/download?_ga=2.249543303.1614565916.1695899091-1779158667.1691694160&_gl=1*1t6qhkh*_ga*MTc3OTE1ODY2Ny4xNjkxNjk0MTYw*_ga_MCLPEGW7WM*MTY5NTkyMDk5NS4yMy4xLjE2OTU5MjExNDcuMC4wLjA.

Hello.
Does any community use a "Racial Equity Impact Assessment" tool for development decision making?  I've never seen an example of what this would look like.  Please send any examples of tools that your community uses to be mindful of DEI while reviewing development projects.

Thank you.
