But
but
the
agendas
been
said
only
yellow,
so
it
would
be
for
the
15
that
we
would
need
to
get
to
do
it.
Okay,
appointed
to
that's
what
I
was
saying.
I
can
definitely
take
some
names
like
right
now.
If
you're
in
it
Wayne
I
can
approach
counsel.
Now
they
tell
them
that
make
them
aware
of
it.
I
can
also
approach
booty
hits
and
now
that's
a
little
over
how
I
can
go
ahead
and
help
move
this
process
forward.
E
E
E
We
have
known
no
choice
and
we
need
some
need
to
be
more
on
top
of
it
too,
so
that
we
can
body
me
to
what
I
need
to
do
now
is
and
notify
everybody
else
that,
like
right
now
but
I
want
to
say
the
goodness
from
Edith
already
had
to
and
I
should
have
brought
that
me
with
me
had
followed
it.
So
I
gotta
make
sure
that
I,
let
her
know
right
off
so
that
that
way
that
she's
out,
because
you
think
I
wanted
a
change
that
I
can't
change
it
into
the
ornament.
E
C
C
Irrespective
of
whether
said
absences
are
excused
unexcused
consecutive
or
not
in
this
context
later,
the
staff
liaison
so
immediately
never
tie
the
appointing
council
member
following
the
fort
permit
to
allow
for
the
appointment
of
another
individual
to
fill
the
removing
members
unexpired
term
of
office.
Nothing
herein
prevent
prohibits
the
City
Council
from
removing
a
committee
member
at
any
time
for
any
reasons,
including
inefficiency,
neglect
of
duty
or
misconduct
in
office
prior
to
the
end
of
the
appointed
members
term.
C
C
G
C
A
C
D
F
C
The
reason
for
the
retirement
of
that
I
would
imagine
is
that
it
puts
the
pressure
on
council
to
appoint
somebody,
because
if
they
don't,
then
they
could
do
exactly
what
you're
saying,
which
is
I'm,
never
going
to
appoint
someone
in.
Therefore,
you
never
have
core.
Well,
that's,
unfortunately,
not
properly
or
rather
than
be
addressed
in
any
of
the
things
that
I've
seen.
C
Is
that
again
I'm
not
bending
any
council
member
one
way
or
another?
However,
they
may
not
be
aware
this
time
of
any
automatic
forfeiture
by
any
current
committee
members,
and
so
therefore
I
understand
our
liaison
is
working
on
getting
that
communication
to
them
if
he
hasn't
already
and
so
without
knowledge
of
an
automatic
forfeiture
in
wings.
No
to
reappoint
someone
in
this
particular
instance
right
now,
if
there's
a
council
member
that
just
fails
to
appoint
a
committee
member
regardless.
B
B
All
I
want
to
thank
me,
be
honest,
are
denied
that
you
off,
but
she
was
a
big
part
of
this
committee
she's,
probably
the
main
reason
that
we
got
the
uneasy
and
as
we
we
did
a
lot
when
she
was
here
because-
and
we
she's
always
welcome
and
I
hope
that
Julian
can
one
day
be
part
of
this
committee
because
I
don't
he
brought
a
lot
of
great
input.
Also
so.
D
D
With
people
who
really
want
to
serve
and
be
able
to
bring
structural
solutions
to
economic
development
in
the
city,
it
can
be
done
here
and
it
was
the
city
it
has
experienced
where
the
neighborhood
apartments
of
and
the
ters.
This
board
was
the
first
board
well
Advisory
Committee,
to
Florida
to
support
tourism,
riddled
the
downtown's
and
the
other.
C
D
Neighborhood
apartment
zone
needs
a
new
look
at
the
at
the
ordinance
because
way
back
when
we
do
drop
preliminary
and
easy
and
all
the
guys
are
excited
ordinance
itself
on
on
how
people
apply
and
look
they
good
and
all
of
that,
but
he
sent
us.
It
was
watered
down
a
lot
at
the
time.
It
was
different
from
the
Fort
Worth
ordinance
he
didn't
have
or
as
receptive
administration
at
the
time.
D
I
don't
have
to
rehash
the
history,
but
they
they
did
pass
something
that
was
helpful
at
City
Council
of
at
home
flow
cell
over
a
council
people,
but
now
Alex
comes
when
alex
has
seen
that
something,
especially
in
his
district.
He
seem
that
there's
a
necessity
to
go
back
as
we
look
at
it.
He
asked
that
economic
development
advisory
look
at.
I
D
D
I
really
suggest
we
get
on
so
and
go
over
there
and
talk
to
the
city
and
see
that
lady
that
went
up
on
the
student
director
and
then
your
contract
last
name
is
Odin,
so
I
mean
that's
just
I
think
it's
great
that
they
want
to
do
that
and
and
I
know
it
easy
program
has
expanded.
It
would
be.
I
D
D
Luckily,
back,
then,
we
didn't
have
the
new
comprehensive
plan
for
the
city
of
Laredo.
Now
we
do
and
mix
development
is
at
the
forefront
of
all
development
in
the
city.
Now
they're
gonna,
you
do
the
zoning
ordinances
so
that
the
economic
benefit
of
land
development
will
we'll
be
able
to.
You
know
sustain
the
comprehensive
plan
because
without
those
changes
in
land
development
code,
a
lot
of
the
comprehensive
be
able
to
be
actuated
so
anyways.
But
in
terms
of
that,
that's
that
nez
really
helps
inner
city
redevelopment,
not
just
downtown
anywhere.
D
G
D
The
reason
it's
downtown
is
because
that's
where
people
want
to
people
want
proximity
who
work
in
tech
or
in
a
non-profit
entrepreneurship.
They
really
coalesce
better
and
are
more
successful
when
they're
in
a
in
proximity
with
each
other.
So
that's
why
these
innovation
districts
have
started
predominantly
and
not
all
of
them
in
inner-city
areas,
and
so
that's
the
idea
with
that
development.
I
really
want
you
in
to
talk
about
Nelson's
happening
downtown
terms
of
it.
Street
brought
the
bars
thought
be
whatever
it
is.
He
won
and.
C
Ask
you
a
few
questions
about
the
updates
to
the
nez
and
just
because
I
may
just
be
ignorant
I'm,
you
kind
of
two
questions.
The
first
question
is:
what
updates
do
you
specifically
think
we
mean
to
the
current
disease
because,
as
an
example,
you
said
it
was
a
watered
down
version,
but
I
don't
know
I
personally,
don't
know
what.
F
C
C
D
Anywhere,
it
depends
on
tiny
structure
the
what
the
mission
is
for
a
particular
and
easy,
or
what
a
city
really
wants
and
the
city
has
spoken.
That's
not
it's
not
me.
It's
thousands
of
people
who
participated
in
the
city
of
Louisville,
radial,
comprehensive
plan
process
and
really
the
elaziz
have
to
follow.
What's
what's
the
directives,
the
goals
and
policies
of
the
Comprehensive,
Plan
and.
D
It's
pretty
clear,
they
want,
they
want
a
place
that
is
a
mix.
They
want
to
see
things
redevelop
along
a
mixed-use
type
of
development
or
redevelopment
it
doesn't
have
to
be.
An
NEC
does
not
have
to
be
a
redevelopment
of
just
buildings
that
exist.
It
could
be
a
set
of
new
buildings
inside
of
inside
of
a
neighborhood.
D
Programs-
and
it's
a
very
you
know
it
can
be
applied
in
all
sorts
of
places.
I.
If
you
ask
me,
I,
feel
it's
important
to
go
to
the
place.
That
is
the
expert
of
it,
which
is
I
Fort
Worth,
and
you
listen
to
their
history,
where
we
were,
we,
it
was
watered
down
because
the
the
fee
waivers
that
it
takes
for
a
developer
to
come
in
and
do
a
project,
so
those
field
waivers
are
bottom-line
deductions
on
any
development.
D
So
those
are
the
ones
that
really
energize
the
kind
of
investment
that
you're
gonna
happen
in
area.
Bateman's
are
great
if
you're
a
long-term
owner
or
it's
something
that
you
pass
on
right,
you're,
gonna,
sell
or,
however
it's
done
you
know
we
doing
these.
This
ordinance
is
a
matter
of
really
looking
at
how
we
want
to
develop
what
it
is.
You
want
to
see
there
and
then
making
sure,
as
the
lady
I
think
her
first
name
was
Jane
or
I,
forgive
her
for
Sarah,
but
mrs.
D
O'toole
said
there
was
somebody
Lillian
who
said:
oh
my
god,
you
you
clip
that
much
into
it.
You
know
she
said
this
was
a
department
head
at
the
time
saying
you
do
that
much
to
stimulate
this.
She
said.
Well,
it
depends
how
fast
you
want
to
do
something
you
want
to
do
economic
development,
slow
or,
if
you
want
to
do
it
fast,
I.
Think,
though,
and
so
that's
how
and
so
their
position
is,
you
know
this
is
what
we
want
to
see.
D
This
is
what
you're
going
to
get,
and
let's
get
this
done
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
believe
that
that
is
a
really
smart
way
of
doing
it.
I
was
doing
things
slowly
or
I
mean
at
that
time.
We
were
not
doing
any
of
these.
There
was
no
program
like
this
occurs
and
nez
a
public,
Improvement,
District
and
Management
District.
All
that
you
cannot
develop.
Those
rules
that
were
available
by
statute
didn't
exist
here,
except
the
use
of
tax
agreements
with
singular.
D
Marketed
that
way,
and
and
if
you
need
something
more
come
and
talk
to
us,
but
for
sure
anybody
who
comes
and
develops
in
this
area,
this
is
what
you
get
and
that's
how
it's
been
functioning.
I
I
think
this
next
go-around
is
going
to
be
really
great
for
the
nez
program.
I
think
there
are
some
developments,
you
know:
they've
torn
down
incredible
homes
to
put
up
metal
buildings.
D
D
Right
but
there's
other
things
that
are
involved
to
do
that
that
that
the
NDC
can't
do,
but
they
can,
they
can
require
certain
things
and
allow
for
certain
things,
and
that's
why
we
need
to.
We
did
it
great
that
we
did
this
ordinance
here
at
the
airport
like
we
were
taking
stuff
home
and
redlining
the
ordinance
and
it's
a
different
administration.
People
are
very
helpful.
D
It's
the
idea
of
economic
development
is
not
just
to
have
one
little
thing
happen.
It's
to
be,
you
know
in
one
little
area
and
a
one-time
shot,
and
it's
also
meant
to
have
layers
so
that
you're
building
prosperity,
its
prosperity,
is
not
just
about
investment,
so
prosperity
in
the
city
has
to
you
know
you
have
to
learn
it
and
that's
what
Julian's
been
working
on
a
lot
so.
H
Of
want
to
bring
up
is
I,
I
thought
to
be
really
interesting
and
it
kind
of
shows
that
that
cities
are
moving
and
corporated
businesses
are
moving
on.
Jefferson
Bank
in
San
Antonio
is
consolidating
all
their
buildings,
all
of
their
own.
The
buildings
to
a
massive
building,
they're
gonna,
build
right
next
level.
H
Their
cost
they're,
actually
gonna
pay
more
per
square
foot
overall
by
consolidating
which
is
typically
not
the
norm
of
any
corporation
that
they
are
strictly
on
the
fact
that
they
realize
they're
their
workforce
is
young
and
those
young
people
don't
want
to
live
in
subgroups,
so
they're
moving
from
all.
They
have
buildings
on
16:04
thing's,
full
of
five
buildings
to
the
roof
there.
H
It's
all
baby,
the
one
building
area
all
to
increase
their
costs,
but
in
order
to
make
sure
that
the
future
supply
of
good
labor
is
going
to
be
there
for
them
just
going
to
be
these
younger
millennial,
demographics.
Another
interesting
thing
that's
happening
in
San
Antonio,
and
this
this
is
good.
At
all
times,
the
incubator
is
San
Antonio's.
A
H
As
a
whole,
we
look
at
the
city
is,
actually
you
know
if
you
were
to
classify
it
as
in
a
recession,
it's
between
70
to
80%
off,
consider
all
of
the
square
footage
without
their
office,
and
you
would
only
assume
at
that
given
point
that
there
would
be
no
more
office
development
because
it's
actually
pretty
cheap
to
even
lease
a
lot
of
these
offices,
because
it's
gone
down
so
far.
Yet.
H
Going
to
be
the
pulse
building
both
since
the
AIDS
in
in
the
market,
that's
considered
to
be
a
recession
into
the
office.
Not
only
that,
but
a
concept
called
we
work
any
of
you
ever
been
to
a
we
work
facility.
It
is
Class
A,
incubator,
style
offices,
but
typically
what
an
incubator
is
like
model.
One.
F
H
For
start-up
businesses
that
go
and
the
innovator
itself
kind
of
helps
them
all
they're,
typically
very
fun,
open
concept,
type
concepts
that
have
amenities,
attentional
mall.
We
work
took
that
and
to
a
class,
a
level
and
actually
has
offices
within
offices.
So
different
companies
are
actually
located
within
the
meeting
incubators.
Even
though
that's
not
really,
you
know
they
don't
really
necessarily
work
together,
but
there's
all
these
amenities
in
everything
they're.
H
In
San,
Antonio
just
bought
a
building
and
are
gonna
do
100
between
50
and
100
thousand
square
feet.
Apparently
what
that
is
telling
these
you're
seeing
this
influx
the
to
urban
areas
due
to
demand
from
the
market
which
are
specifically
Millennials.
So
when
we
look
at
downtown
Lorado
or
inner-city
Laredo
its
believer
or
not,
it's
actually
built
perfectly
and
has
the
structure
to
actually
encompass
what?
Typically,
you
need
to
attract
that
demographic
I
want
to
say
any
percent
of
the
friends
have
ever
left.
H
H
So
the
way
we've
been
looking
at
the
downtown
is:
how
do
we
tap
it,
although
we
put
in
the
incubator,
which
is
an
incredible
thing
that
can
help
any
person,
young
and
old,
develop
a
business
and
the
whole
idea
is
proximity.
You
know
you're
literally
sitting
next
to
people
you're
developing
ideas,
that's
been
very
successful
and
there's
been
a
lot.
F
B
D
G
D
D
E
D
D
H
B
B
B
One
thing
I
was
spending
last
time
is
it
I
was
in
Santa,
Fe
and
sanity
and
in
some
ways
reminded
me
a
lot
of
Laredo
at
downtown.
Why?
Because
you've
got
the
plaza,
you've
got
the
the
big
hotel.
You've
got,
the
church,
you've
got,
but
then
they've
expounded
from
there
and
they
have
all
these
with
restaurants,
and
then
they
go
several
blocks.
So
I
could
see
where
we
could
do
that
here.
B
B
Better,
but
you
know
my
that's
a
good
for
a
property
that
I
think
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
properties
there
that
that
we
need
to
sort
of
sort
of
zero
in
and
see
what
we
can
do
and
I
mentioned
it
to
them.
It's
like
why
not
bring
a
Vega
put
it
downtown.
Why
not
bring
up
some
of
these?
You
know
Curiel
stores
that
you
have
I'm
not.
G
B
The
reality
is
that
we
gotta
be
ready
for
the
conference,
and
so
the
conference
center
just
going
to
come
in,
see
it
there
on
then,
as
they
put
a
lot
of
money
into
yeah
I
mean
they
put
their
money
where
their
mouth
is
so
I
know.
There's
a
lot
of
bars
coming
in
I,
don't
know
they're
on
the
other
side,
so.
H
A
A
H
B
F
G
H
Assume
retail
freezes
at
words
having
those
stores
continue
to
be
there
from
this
point
on
that
they
don't
have
mass
amounts
of
goods
anymore.
Those
second,
third,
fourth,
fifth
stories
are
absolutely
empty
and
in
a
city
that
I
I
think
everyone
always
complains
about
is
affordability
when
it
comes
to
housing.
Those
are
massive
opportunities
right
there
to
just
target.
H
That
there'll
anything
you
just
need
to
revitalize
it.
So
if
we
can
figure
out,
you
know,
okay.
In
order
to
do
this,
we
need
to
do
sprinklers.
If
we
can
determine
all
the
things
we
need
to
do
or
or
what
a
lot
of
these
buildings
need,
and
then
reverse
engineer
that
into
you
know,
this
is
how
we
incentivize
it.
This
is
how
we
bridge
those
gaps.
H
We
can
not
create
a
viable
product,
but
we
can
create
an
affordable
product
and,
on
top
of
all
that,
we're
creating
it
in
the
area
that
a
lot
of
young
people
want
to
be
in
already.
So
what
we're
really
doing
is
we're
building
an
environment.
You
know
an
environment
that
not
just
has
you
know,
a
possibility
of
conventions
that
are
down
the
pipeline,
but
environment.
B
B
H
We
just
need
to
analyze
what
what
it's
gonna
cost
to
change
all
that
and
make
sure
that
it's
affordable.
It's
not
just
about
these.
We
have
a
massive
young
demographic
in
Laredo
and
a
young
demographic
that
typically,
you
know.
The
truth
is
is
owning.
A
car
is
not
the
same
as
women
in
a
car
back
in
the
70s
and
80s.
It
is
vastly
more
expensive
and
most
the
people
that
I
know
don't
even
really
want
to
own
a
car.
These.
D
D
D
And
so
people
don't
the
workforce
that
is
coming
into
those
businesses
that
led
see
and
sleeve
there
I
don't
want
to
attract.
They
are
looking
for
a
livable
city
where
they
can.
They
can
have
all
the
quality
of
life
experience
that
they
want,
because
they're
gonna
go
to
us.
It
even
offers
a
period.
They
want
to
be
able
to
write
their
bike.
They
want
to
be
able
to
walk,
they
want,
they
don't
want
to
be
forced
to
be
in
a
car,
24/7
or
not.
24/7.
D
H
Missing
the
boat:
if
we
don't,
we
don't
play
into
Miami
and
it's
not
about
revitalizing
the
term
downtown.
It's
not
revitalizing
the
term
inner
city.
It's
about
what
typically
downtown's
representing
the
infrastructure.
That's
laid
out
the
grid
system,
the
the
proximity.
That's
what
we're
talking
about
we're
talking
about
revitalizing,
the
seeing
areas
that
are
assets,
just
how
they're
already
laid
out
we're
not
trying
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
That's
why?
H
When
you
go
to
all
these
other
cities,
these
downtown's
have
been
revitalized
because
the
structure
and
the
way
they're
built
in
the
proximity
lend
themselves
to
not
only
be
efficient.
When
comes
to
services
for
cities
per
square
foot,
but
is
exactly
the
product
that
the
customers,
because
is
what,
at
the
end
of
the
day
it's
all
about
is
with
us.
What
the
young
earth
upcoming
are
in
existence
and
like
we're
gonna
set
for
the
next
30
years
are
wanting
and
we
become
as
human
beings
along
there.
G
H
Know
so
I
think
I
think
that
mobility
it's
important,
but
it's
imperative
that
it
becomes
one
of
our
predominant
visions
for
economic
development,
Laredo.
It's
it's
thinking
of
the
Laredos
of
product
and
how,
as
a
product,
we
compete
with
other
cities.
These
that's
what
we're
doing
we're
not
competing
amongst
ourselves,
no
we're
competing
against
other
cities,
so
we
need
to
match
and
then
exceed.
H
If
we
really
want
to
develop
some
economic
prosperity
and
have
great
jobs,
because
Amazon
all
those
and
I
know
they've
been
on
the
news
that
for
battle
the
city,
but
the
companies
that
pay
well
typically,
look
at
the
city
and
the
services
in
the
environment.
It
provides
now
just
as
much
as
Jefferson
Bank
in
San
Antonio,
consolidated
into
a
more
attractive
neighborhood
that
they
know
they
their
employees
want
to
live
in.
We
have
to
view
it
in
the
same
manner.
H
C
But
what
can
we,
as
the
committee,
advise
City
Council
to
enact
your
vision
other
than
improve
the
nez,
which
I
think
is
what
you
want
to
do
right?
But
what
else
can
we,
as
the
committee
act,
if
we
wanted
to
go
and
have
a
vote
and
give
a
report
to
the
councilman
come
to
people?
What
would
we
do
to
do
that
right
to
effectuate
what
your
vision
is
to
effectuate,
what
the
maximizing
or
revitalizing
the
that
is
Loretta
right,
an
inner-city.
H
H
That
targeted
residential
developments
in
77
I
took
the
rebar
report
Riesling
tomorrow
on
it
and
how
impactful
was
that
you
know
initially
when
it
started.
There
were
all
these
complaints,
and
not
only
is
it
paid
its
for
itself
in
tax
revenue,
but
it's
David,
Sullivan
double-fold
I,
think
at
this
one.
So.
H
Incentives
that
target
the
needs
in
order
for
not
not
meaning
for
us
to
to
financially
be
able
to
get
there,
but
then
further,
you
know.
A
major
plan
we
have
is
is
its
code,
how
we
read
the
code
so
there's
codes
on
future
development
which
need
to
be
in
us
with
refugee
and
I
was
referring
to
as
the
codes
need
to
be
redone,
but
we're
not
building
new
buildings.
Typically
here
in
downtown,
it's
it's
the
interpretation
of
the
codes
and
having
someone
within
the
city.
So
this
is
to
answer
your
question.
H
D

G

D

H
B
F
B
B
D
F
B
D
G
D
D
H
H
That
can't
just
B's
looked
at.
How
is
the
city
in
a
benefit
or
how
am
I
gonna
benefit
these
the
truth
is
their
products
for
the
citizens
and
everybody,
and
when
we
do
them,
they
need
to
be
placed
so
on
location,
wise,
going
back
to
what
I
was
talking
about
the
inner
city
and
how
there's
a
demand
for
that.
Therefore,
you
have
to
you
know,
get
your
product
ready
to
sell
it.
H
When
we
build
this
thing,
if
we
build
it
somewhere
in
the
middle
of
nowhere
and
then
say:
ok
now,
let's
go
compete
against
El
Paso
and
San
Antonio
and
all
these
other
areas
and
how
is
it
going
to
compete?
What
added
services
are
is
really
being
provided
and
we've
been
laying
it
out
to
people,
especially
the
wings.
Let's
say:
why
are
we
building
downtown
there's
nothing
there.
It's
like
ok,
first
of
all,
come
with
me
there's
so.
H
If
you're
having
a
wedding
and
keeps
on
yet
or
any
event
of
an
actual
business
conference,
they're
gonna
walk
out
they're
gonna
be
next
to
a
hotel,
they're
gonna
be
bars
in
front
of
them.
There's
gonna
be
an
outlet
shop
which
typically
draws
from
Lara
long
distances.
You
have
all
these
things
that
exist
today
that
are
complementary
and
are
competitive
against
other
conference
centers.
We.
G
E
It's
it's
just
more
involved
can
give
you
a
little
bit
of
and
I'll
be
thinking
of
short
presentation
on
Monday
on
it.
We
already
have
an
outline
as
to
what
needs
to
happen
in
order
for
us
to
try
to
start
transitioning
and
in
that
direction,
and
the
first
thing
in
we
already
have
this:
is
they
come
right
now
and
that
will
be
filed
or
that
needs
to
be
filed
with
the
state?
That's
the
first
thing
that
that
we
need
to
do
because
that
will
give
us
the
authority.
So
if.
E
Like
to
change
based
on
where
I've
looked
in
the
discussion,
there's
there's
some
what's
bit:
I'm,
not
the
whip
number,
but
there's
some
that
say.
Yes,
we
knew
it
directly
assign
feel
that
we
need
to
venture
to
say
that
its
body
we
all
including
myself,
need
to
get
more
educated
on
it.
So
there
is
ways
to
where
you
can
they'll
be
using
the
border
for
be
for
the
same
activities
that
main
concern.
That
is
big
but
outfit
like
it.
We
change
it.
E
My
question
there
I
mean
II
I
know
you
did
to
write
in
this
and
what
is
what,
where,
how
do
we
actually
move
for
it?
What's
the
relationship
and
the
only
thing
that
I
gotta
say
in
there
is
it,
you
know
we.
What
type
of
businesses
are
really
one
I
had
sent
to
us?
What
type
of
is
usually
because
us
me,
I,
have
one
viewpoint
in
ever
and
I
can
tell
you
well.
I
would
say
that
we
want
to
incentivize.
People
are
gonna,
bring
new
jobs,
we
need
to
diversify,
high-paying
jobs.
G
E
F
H
G
G
B
B
H
I
F
B
D
D
Pick
me
out
which
one
the
other
one
together
we
work
together
with
him
a
lot
but
the
so.
The
idea
of
urban
agriculture
is
about
a
local
food
system.
What
does
that
mean
in
terms
of
diversifying
the
economy?
First
of
all,
a
local
food
system
doesn't
make
you
as
dependent,
doesn't
take
it
away
that
doesn't
make
you
as
dependent
on
a
corporate
food
system
which
says,
grow
the
food
for
truck,
get
in
the
grocery
stores,
heb
being
the
predominant
one.
They
are
profit
centers,
so
they
every
h-e-b
is
a
profit
center.
D
D
D
D
It's
it's
that
for
sure,
but
on
the
other
side,
it's
all
a
local
food
system
creates
a
very
robust,
diverse
economy
in
the
city
and
a
city
our
size,
you
know,
should
have
established
this
already.
It's
already
started.
This
is
happening
and
more
as
people
begin
to
understand.
The
economic
impact
of
a
local
food
system
I
mean
that's.
