This was re referenced in the commissioner's testimony, part of the framework here is a permit that is issued by New York State DC that allows us to acquire land.

Our current permit expires at the end of 2025, and we have been for some time in active discussions with broad group of stakeholders, including the state, including the communities, including the environmental parties.
