Wonderful.
2:26:17
Sorry about that.
2:26:18
So my name is Heather Huff.
2:26:20
I'm writing to express my strong support for the certified plan of 145 Development in Harlem, so glad to be speaking with everyone today.
2:26:29
As a Harlem resident, along with my husband and my young son, and someone who works in the neighborhood for about nearly ten years now, I care deeply for the future of our community.
2:26:42
I believe the certified plan for 145 will bring much needed investment to Harlem, particularly through the Economic Investment Initiative, which will empower and support local women and minority owned businesses and really help existing residents build and retain the wealth in the community.
2:27:01
Additionally, I'm excited about the restoration and overall revitalization of 140 Fifth Street, transforming it hopefully into a brighter and safer and more welcoming corridor where Harlem residents can live and work and shop.
2:27:14
And I just wanted to say that I fully support the certified plan of 145 and welcome this project to our neighborhood, which I believe reflects the needs and desires of our community.
2:27:25
Thank you so much for letting me speak.
2:27:26
I appreciate it.
