Joined me as we cut the ribbon with mayor breed, but essentially designed to work with wonderful programs like Young Community developers and the lead agency out there in the intercity youth to attach and refer people to the opportunities, many of those actually in the Construction Industry and we have many of our brother exposbrothers and sistee carpenters unions and they have been a phenomenal partner in putting people to work in an industry and giving many people their first opportunity for longterm employment.
