Community Impact Statement

A Community Impact Statement (CIS) is a formal document that outlines how a proposed project or action will affect the local community. It considers factors like public safety, economic impact, environment, and quality of life. Often used by city or community officials, it helps stakeholders understand potential positive or negative consequences, ensuring decisions are made with community well-being in mind. The CIS promotes transparency and informed decision-making by capturing community concerns and insights related to development or policy proposals.
