And we're also committed to working with a workforce training group that will target folks who live in Harlem.
1:03:50
So this goes back to your earlier question, Councilman.
1:03:52
You wanted to know, you said this, you wanted to know, and I wrote it down, for whom is this project being built?
1:03:58
And I think certainly and surely, the apartments and the residential units, that's an important component of the project.
1:04:05
But we can't and should not forget the other important aspects of this project.
1:04:09
The stores, the jobs, the businesses, who will take part in building one 40 five.
1:04:16
These are all commitments that we've made and I think we've hit some big numbers that will reflect our desire and commitment to ensuring that this project is being built by people in your community who can then find a way to live and also to make a living and grow, keep wealth in this community as well.

Well, definitely look forward to continuing to work with you and also work with the people, really be the voice of the people in the room to make sure that this project, if pushed forward, actually becomes that beacon of opportunity of green energy, not just green energy because we've discussed green energy, but really green energy back into the people.
1:04:59
People feeling like they're being invigorated with something that allows them to really have hope for a future that looks so dismal.
1:05:08
So I thank you for your answers.
