A
You
have
to
forgive
me
if
I
take
a
moment
to
soak
this
in.
It
took
a
lot
of
council
meetings
to
get
to
where
we
are
today
I'm,
going
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
people
that
live
work
and
serve
the
community
here
in
Inglewood
that
have
decades
of
a
relationship
with
this
building.
I
went
to
my
first
two
concerts
here
in
1969,
Carole,
King
and
then
Sly
and
the
Family
Stone.
A
When
I
became
a
policeman.
I
worked
the
basketball
games
from
the
floor
hockey
games
from
the
floor
when
Kareem
abdul-jabbar
was
under
threat.
I
picked
him
up
for
his
games
and
drove
him
back
home
and
sat
outside
his
house
in
1984.
When
we
were
the
venue
for
the
basketball
in
the
Olympic
Games
I
was
a
venue
commander
and
I
saw
more
basketball
than
I
could
take,
and
then,
while
I
was
away
on
a
work
study.
Programs
in
the
city
of
Santa,
Monica.
A
A
This
was
one
such
opportunity
and
I
was
determined
to
everything
that
I
could
within
reason
to
see
that
we
see
his
destiny
and
I
want
to
thank
personally
right
now,
faithful,
central
Bible
Church,
dr.
kenneth
omer
become
the
bishop
and
Mark
littell,
the
CEO
for
preserving
this
icon
until
msg
acquired
the
building
and
please
give
them
a
hand.
A
A
We're
making
this
a
reality.
The
former
realization
is
a
product
of
a
perfect
partnership
between
this
great
city
of
Inglewood
and
a
world-class
company
with
unparalleled
expertise
and
transforming
some
of
the
most
renowned
arenas
in
our
nation
and,
as
you've
heard
once
the
revitalization
is
complete,
the
form
will
once
again
be
a
state-of-the-art
industry-leading
performance
venue
that
delivers
the
greatest
fan
experience
in
Southern
California.
A
Meanwhile,
the
city
of
Inglewood
is
already
reaping
benefits.
Msg
has
made
meaningful
commitments
to
ensure
that
Ingrid
residents
benefit
directly
from
this
investment.
The
company
has
met
and
surpassed
each
one
of
these
commitments.
So
far,
more
than
120
Ingrid
residents
have
been
hired
to
work
on
this
revitalization
and
been
paid
prevailing
wages,
along
with
thirty-six
percent
of
the
contracts
going
to
Ingrid
base
firms.
A
Both
of
these
figures
have
exceeded
the
goal
set
for
this
project,
in
addition
to
jobs
at
the
forum
to
job
fairs
that
msg
&
Clark
construction
is
held,
job
seekers
have
not
only
been
able
to
be
placed
at
the
forum,
but
they've
been
added
to
a
jobs
database
to
connect
them
with
other
employers
looking
to
hire
over
the
long
term.
The
revitalized
form
will
generate
millions
of
dollars
in
new
revenue,
for
anger
would
attract
more
people
to
our
city
and
catalyze
investment
and
business
grow
throughout
the
area.
Msg
is
also
committed
to
inglewood.
A
At
the
community
level,
company
representatives
have
met
with
little
hundreds
of
residents
over
the
past
few
months,
answering
questions
and
hearing
feedback.
This
includes
me
he's
with
the
business
community,
the
faith-based
community,
as
well
as
members
of
block
clubs,
community
groups
and
people
simply
out
for
their
morning
walk
the
form
will
be
fabulous
once
again
and
will
host
a
number
of
community
events
for
the
city
at
no
charge.
A
Msg
was
also
instrumental
in
hosting
last
year's
unforgettable
shuttle
endeavour
celebration
and
supports
a
wide
variety
of
other
community
events
throughout
the
year,
and
the
public
will
be
welcome
at
the
forum
for
community
events
as
well
as
the
weekly
farmers
market.
