The Equitable Scorecard is a tool and set of criteria to guide community development plans, and should help answer the question: "How can development repair past harms and contribute to a stronger, more inclusive and thriving community?"

The Mac-Groveland Community Council plans to create their own scorecard in 2023 and lists the benefits of an equitable development scorecard as:

• Bringing community membership into the decision making process

• Choosing development plans that benefit local communities of color and lower-income communities

• Incorporating environmental justice concerns into planning decisions

• Identifying ways to improve plans before breaking ground

Two ways to become part of this process in Mac-Groveland:
