Obviously, we have vacant storefronts.
0:42:40
You mentioned some in your testimony.
0:42:44
Are you working with cannabis NYC or small business services or anybody else again?

Trying to get away from silo agency to figure out how to populate those vacant storefronts.
0:42:58
I know that's not your job.
0:42:59
I got it.
0:43:00
But guess what?

One city, one agency shouldn't be
Anthony Miranda
0:43:03
Absolutely.
0:43:04
We do go out with NYC Cannabis when they do community forums and whenever they ask us to join them.
0:43:10
We go out of any number of community events as we are invited to as well as the Sheriff's Office.
0:43:14
Not only to inform people the activities of what we're doing overall, the operations of the Sheriff's Office, but also in any way that we can to share information.

So we do that on a regular basis.
