Thank you, chair.
1:03:32
I also wanted to just correct the record that there was a separate meeting scheduled for April 22 that was deferred.
1:03:41
This meeting that was scheduled for today, the twenty third, was never So it is likely that you were clicking the wrong link and registering for the incorrect hearing that this hearing has never, been changed.
1:03:54
And I did also wanna note, that this site was formerly a gas station.
1:04:00
So I didn't personally hear a reference to urban decay here, and maybe I missed it.
1:04:04
But I I do wanna mention that if there is any decay on this site, it is literally because of the materials that are in the ground.
1:04:16
And I know that the site specifically is part of the Brownfield.
1:04:20
Is that the right Brownfield?

It is, but it was never a gas station.
1:04:24
It was a laundromat, a big laundromat, and then the laundromat moved.
1:04:27
It was always Previous to the laundry gas station.

It was a gas station many years But again, we're not here to go back and forth.
1:04:36
I'm making the statement for the record.
1:04:38
Thank you.
