Is there a timeline on construction on these sites?
Sarit Platkin

So I think as as far as timeline is for construction, we of course would want to move these forward as quickly as possible.
0:37:46
We're taking the first steps now through the land use actions.
0:37:50
After the land use actions through the study the next step would be request for proposals.
0:37:54
So request for proposal would be of course seeking a developer.
0:37:58
There would also potentially be additional public engagement to really fine tune and develop the more detailed programming for the site.

We have high level goals but we would really want to work more closely with the local council members and community to make sure we're you know developing the right you know ground floor programming, affordability mix, etcetera.
