And pricing out our community programs, this is something we want to do that suggest going in a different direction and even along Market Street we have to support our local programs that have been there just like on third street to create thing and establish themselves and not get priced out. We need to do more of this in our neighborhood and identify the arts programs that are our sensitive and economic edge. This is why we promoted programs like cast to try to find ways to control the land values and land use and to use the citys economic success to get that land control. The ocii or whatever agencies that we have so that we can control land cost and invite the artist and Artistic Community to join us cloelg these land cost. We dont do that. If i dont get more of these land cost in control, then we are subject to the Natural Forces going on. Our success will eat away at our local arts programs. We cant have that happen.

Today it influences the experience of walking, shopping and eating along our beautiful third street corridor and impacts our youth and families by providing access to the arts right here in the neighborhood. I see we have the executive director Kimberly Hayes from the African American complex and excited to look to the if you the to forge a relationship with the African American arts and culture complex and developing this relationship for arts, education outreach and more importantly a relationship that will teach the culture of particularly the African American community. By supporting this renovation today, we recognize that not only that the building and the property, but also the significant role that this building has had and plays in establishing in a healthy individual in this neighborhood. I dont know if you know, my personal story is i took west african lessons here with betty gamma bo
