Hello, everyone.

I'm Quinn's resident, an architect, and I look in a small business owner.
3:20:54
And also a very proud founding member of New York City Football Club.
3:20:59
The proposed project for the new community, including the stadium, is already a positive impact in in the community even before it is approved.
3:21:09
Something great happening already, they improvement of the area, the contamination and the program does the club have with the local schools and night lights.
3:21:18
Also, great benefit for the future, 1000 of construction of permanent jobs, locan local hiring practices.
3:21:25
It's meant that a ladder queen's resident would be able to live and work in a brand new neighborhood.
3:21:30
Local business opportunity and big opportunities helping to expedite a new policy present.
3:21:37
The fact that it's surrounded by public transportation, it makes the perfect location for the stadium.
3:21:43
The fact that we will have an average of 17 to 25 games per year.
3:21:48
We will now generate a major schedule coordination with the Mets.
3:21:56
Games will now be at the same time as the CD player on the NY CFC new stadium.
3:22:02
The stadium will provide community spaces, city square, where the community will have access to recreational and relaxing areas while no soccer games are in progress.
3:22:12
Also, it will serve as a team headquarters.
3:22:15
So it will be a continuous use during the entire year.
3:22:21
Since the stadium is only 25,000 seats, we can expect less impact compared to a Mets game.
3:22:27
Also, we already play some games at the stadium field with our major impact that the area is custom to handle at its time of the games.
3:22:37
The stadium will be sustainable, including solar panels generating electricity continuously.
3:22:43
All the energy generated not used for the stadium will be sent back to the Canadian grid, so it can be grid distributor.
3:22:52
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
