Spanish term or phrase: contraprestaciones
¿Dos mil empresas deben dejar mucho dinero en las arcas municipales?
Dejan dinero, pero también es cierto que en los tres años que llevamos al frente del Ayuntamiento hemos atendido demandas históricas de las zonas industriales, que habían sido las grandes olvidadas en las inversiones municipales. Lógicamente han empezado a pedir una mejora de esos enclaves, y nosotros hemos acordado otorgarles esas **contraprestaciones** y colaborar a aumentar la competitividad de esos polígonos para que puedan afrontar la situación de crisis y continuar siendo privilegiados por su ubicación, pero también por sus servicios y su calidad ambiental

considerations
Explanation:
Especially in this case, where they are not talking about any specific amount, I'd say "considerations" is the correct term.

neutral  margaret caulfield: I don't think this fits in with the context at all, since they talk about services offered at the very end of the explanation. They're not talking about "return services" when they mention the "contraprestaciones"!

give back / invest back


Explanation:
English is more direct than Spanish. I belive that in this case you may use a verb instead of a noun in order to avoid roundabouts.

Example sentence(s):
  • We have decided to invest back in these industrial areas.
  • We have decided to give back to these enterprises through...

mutual rendering of services


Explanation:
mutual rendering of services


una de las acepciones de "prestación" es "rendering of services". Me parece, por lo tanto que si el servicio es mutuo, esta traducción no estaría muy alejada.
