The individualized questions.
1:17:36
A hundred million was allocated for infrastructure improvements at the Fulton produce market, that's something we spoke about actually when we were on the tour and an additional 40,000,000 was given to Hunts Point area by mayor Adams for the rebuild renew reinvent plan.
1:17:53
Do you folks have what the funding will be used for at Hunts Point and how the funding is going to be utilized?
Michelle Lamberti
1:18:00
Sure.
1:18:01
I'm happy to talk about that.
1:18:03
So from the Hunts Point Forward Plan, the money was transferred to the New York City Department of Parks and the Department of Transportation in 2022.
1:18:13
My understanding is that on the park side, $15,000,000 has been put towards Bredow Park and that that's in the design phase, and that 25,000,000 is with Department of Transportation and they were looking at six intersections along Hunts Point Avenue and in design procurement.
Amanda Farías
1:18:38
Okay.
1:18:39
And in 2012, the plan was short of the funding needed to upgrade Hunt's Point.
1:18:44
Does this does this funding aid in completing that long term goal or is still there still a budget gap?
Michelle Lamberti
1:18:50
I am in terms of the the I'm not certain on that answer.
Amanda Farías
1:18:55
Okay.
1:18:56
We'll send that as follow-up.
1:18:58
I will end there and pass it back over to chair Brewer.
1:19:06
