There's a head start program operated by Hudson Guild at Metro Baptist Church at 410 West 40th Street, adjacent to the future construction site, would you commit to providing a temporary relocate relocation for that head start program, if it is needed?

So, at this time, we do not anticipate the need, for any relocation of any business or other service or organization that that exists, within the project area.

But what's critical is, again, keeping our ear to the ground and making sure we are hearing from the community, hearing from the students and parents that may participate in that Head Start program, the folks within that church, and just keeping a very, open line of communication and addressing any issues that come up in a, in as responsive and as timely way as possible.
