If you would like me to sure, I can just give you a brief
summary of the project, its 81 units of affordable housing
with a grocery store on the ground floor. In order to make
the project work, we need to connect the two pieces of land
and there's an alley that goes in between. So that's
essentially what the ask is today is to connect the city on
Parcels to the north of the alley. In the city on Parcels
to the South, the land will be transferred to the city and
then it Financial closing. It will go into the project,
that's why it's been transferred to this.

Thank you because this is to the east of the seventh one.
You just mentioned that it be a grocery store and
considering grocery stores are Commodities in our
neighborhood was going to be the operator of this grocery
store. So we've been discussing with a yellow banana. LLC
is a possible and it in the building its early on.
Typically in these projects where we do a retell of some
kind, we take care of the affordable housing and get that
closed. And then once we have the space, it's much easier
to recruit. We just put yellow banana in a project that
we're working on in the village of Maywood. And so we had a
relationship with them so hopefully that will be successful
as well. In this project, will you information on yellow
banana is taking over a Save-A-Lot on 83rd Street in
Houston which is not that far from there and the city has
provided them with you already know if thirteen million
dollars so it's so let's just make sure that doesn't
conflict with thank you.
