Good morning.
0:46:01
I also echo echo in what Bishop has said.
0:46:05
As a resident of Crown Heights for over 50 years, I also agree with the councilor Hudson about the displacement of so many minorities in our community.
0:46:19
I'm the passive holy temple of prayer.
0:46:22
Located within the 77 percent community council in Crown Heights.
0:46:26
I'm also the vice chair of the 77 percent of clergy council.
0:46:31
I'm here today to support the proposed project at 962 Pacific Street And Crown Heights.
0:46:37
As a community resident, I appreciate I just project align project aligns with the needs of our vibrant community, prioritizing real affordability, building much needed community space and resources, and creating good paying jobs.

Nadine and Bill here.
0:47:00
I had a 1985 Osman Bill who did their their family had owned on Atlantic Avenue, and that Oldsmobile had over 200,000 miles.
0:47:08
And I don't know if you know that 1985 Oldsmobile.
0:47:11
You had one.
0:47:11
Right?
0:47:12
Then and I used to take it to that Atlantic Avenue or shop where their their parents owned, and I kinda missed it when that when that shop was no longer there because that 85 holes would be over 200,000 miles, I could take it to that older dealer and get serviced.
0:47:25
You know?
0:47:25
So I missed that that dealership when they closed down a bill in Nadine.
0:47:30
Just one of the family has been, you know, supportive of our community for decades.
0:47:35
And this project represents the voices and values of the neighborhood at a time when additional housing a job desperately needed.
0:47:44
We know the process, immigration, what's going on at a time when we need this.
0:47:49
So as a passive one of the clearest needs amongst our faith community is access to affordable housing.
0:47:56
Haven't seen so many individuals and families who have been, you know, displaced even in my block where I live at Sorry.
0:48:02
I'm over time, but we we need this project definitely 962 Pacific Street.
0:48:08
Thank you, and God bless.
