Council Member Crystal Hudson asks Kevin Elkins to clarify what the 82% reduction in the project refers to specifically. Elkins explains that it relates to the reduction in the number of units from the original proposal to the current one, though he admits he needs to confirm the exact breakdown.

  • The 82% reduction is about the decrease in the number of housing units
  • Elkins offers to provide the exact breakdown later
  • This reduction impacts the number of union jobs available for the project

Kevin Elkins
1:23:19
I believe from the original amount of unit threshold I see the unit threshold.
1:23:22
I'm used to talking about 421 a.
1:23:23
I'm sorry.
1:23:24
The amount of units that started off with the proposal till now, where it is now, and basically the everything in well.
1:23:30
But I can get the exact breakdown for you as well.
Crystal Hudson
