And um but I asked my colleagues that if uh if you want to speak and I can't see you, especially people on my left hand side here, please raise your hand, make a noise.

All in favor signify by saying aye. Those opposed say nay. Ayes have it. Commissioner Exeter, you were abstaining on that vote, correct? That is correct. I was not at that meeting. Okay, thank you. Next, we have Champlain Heights. Please proceed. Good evening, Dave Tagley and Eddie with the copianotto group. If you want to have any discussion on this first, or you just want me to proceed? All right, so um we were here in front of you last year for a an extension to give you a an update as to where we're at with this project. We have recently over the last couple of months, uh, entered into discussions with a national developer to either joint venture with us on this project or perhaps even uh purchase this land and develop it themselves. Um we've recently been working with a company called uh post-road residential on our Avon project. We just recently entered into a purchase and sales slash joint venture agreement with this company. It's going well. Um, we're doing a similar uh joint venture sale agreement in Plymouth Mass with a company called HYM. So we feel that you know we've we've had a couple of these projects, joint venture and and sale agreements where uh we're working hand in hand uh with these national companies. They bring a little different approach to uh to making the economics work behind these residential developments, so we feel confident that within the next you know, probably six months, you know, we have something to move forward with okay for both phase two and also for phase one. Okay, so phase two is 152 units, phase one is 90. The company that we're working with, this sweet spot is about 250 units. This totals 242 total units. Okay, so they just completed a project in Warwick, Rhode Island, which is 90 percent leased. So they are aggressively looking for their second opportunity in in Rhode Island. Okay, thank you. Could you just I forgot to mention this? Could you state your name and address for the record, sir? Sure, it's uh David Taglionetti Combinado Group, 1414 at what have Johnston, Rhode Island. Thank you, sir. Uh is the staff have anything to add to this. You can just say no. Uh, not really, besides that we recommend that it gets continued. Okay, all right. Is uh any discussion if there's no discussion from the uh or questions from the commissioners?
