A
The
Cova
nineteen
pandemic
all
under
certain
terms
and
conditions.
Thank
you,
mister
newsy.
Before
we
begin
to
hear
testimony
from
the
witnesses
we
have
for
today.
Everyone
who
has
been
invited
to
the
meeting
to
testify
should
be
aware
that
this
public
hearing
is
being
recorded,
because
the
hearing
is
public
participants
and
viewers
have
no
reasonable
expectation
of
privacy.
I
continue
to
be
in
the
meeting.
You
are
considering
to
be
recorded
additionally
prior
to
recognizing
members
for
the
questions
or
comment.
A
If
they
have
four
witnesses,
I
will
know
for
the
record
at
this
time
that
we
would
use
the
chat
feature
available
in
Microsoft
teams
to
allow
members
to
signify
that
they
wish
to
be
recognized
in
order
to
comply
with
a
Sunshine
Act.
The
chat
feature
must
only
be
used
for
this
purpose
before
we
called
them.
The
first
panel
like
to
recognize
counselor,
came
out
of
Johnson
for
some
opening
remarks
on
this
bill.
Yeah.
F
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
chair,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
on
this
bill
will
allow
for
an
extension
of
a
keystone
opportunity
zone
at
the
former
site
of
Philadelphia
Energy
Solutions
on
the
current
company.
That's
a
negotiation
of
purchasing
this
site
is
Hill
Co
Co
Co
company
was
the
actual
that
was
uncle
company
was
the
company
that
was
approved
or
Bank
was
doing
a
bank
receipt
process
to
purchase
on
the
form
and
slid
off
there.
F
I'm,
supportive
of
this
legislation
and
the
reason
why
I'm
introducing
it
is
because
this
can
be
economic
engine
and
not
only
South
Philadelphia
but
most
importantly,
to
flood
off
your
region,
and
so
the
company
of
hilko
came
and
gave
a
presentation
on
them
to
myself,
and
my
staff
and
I
believe
it
will
be
a
great
asset.
There's
reason
to
come
to
job
training,
job
development,
and
they
can
give
you
more
to
details
overall,
the
upcoming
site.
Why
we're
introducing
this
legislation
at
this
particular
point?
In
time
we
talked
about
the
issue
of
Cove.
F
It
19
one
of
the
ways
that
we
want
to
come
back
and
turn
the
bike
economy
is
making
sure
that
we're
providing
jobs,
making
sure
that
our
economy
is
moving
forward.
Most
of
you,
a
mate
may
not
know
that
recently,
just
as
of
today,
we
were
just
told
that
we
want
to
see
another
100
million
dollar
deficit
on
through
our
overall
budget,
and
so
it's
projects
like
this
I
believe
that
will
help
jumpstart
our
economy.
Is
projects
like
this
I
believe
will
help
put
people
back
to
work.
F
We
have
the
potential
of
generating
up
to
10,000
jobs
and
so
I'm
a
strong
advocate
around
the
issue
of
diversity
and
inclusion,
so
those
are
party
conversations
as
well
and
not
only
on
the
construction
and
building
of
the
site,
but
most
importantly
around
professional
services
and
contracts,
and
so
again,
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
brief
statement
on
my
support
and
why
I'm
introducing
this
bill
and
just
thank
all
the
members
and
ask
for
your
support.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
chairman.
Thank.
A
A
G
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Dwayne
bond.
I
am
the
senior
deputy
director
with
the
Department
of
Commerce
I'm
here
this
afternoon
to
provide
testimony
in
support
of
bill
two
zero
zero,
three
four
seven,
which
would
authorize
the
city
philadelphia
to
apply
to
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania
for
the
extension
of
Keystone
opportunities
and
benefits
for
a
group
of
adjacent
properties
in
south
and
southwest
Philadelphia.
The
Keystone
opportunity
zone
or
Koz
program
is
an
economic
development
program
created
by
the
Commonwealth
to
stimulate
investment
and
employment,
growth
on
vacant
or
underutilized
properties.
G
Businesses
located
in
these
specially
designated
Koz
zones
are
authorized
to
apply
for
state
and
local
tax
credits,
exemptions
and
tax
abatements
for
terms
of
up
to
10
years.
The
Koz
program
allows
the
city
to
spur
economic
development
and
attract
businesses
that
may
not
otherwise
choose
to
develop
or
locate
in
Philadelphia.
The
Koz
program
has
been
a
critical
tool
in
the
city's
economic
development
toolkit,
helping
to
offset
the
high
cost
of
development
in
Philadelphia
and
attracting
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
in
private
investment
in
generating
more
than
110,000
local
jobs
in
our
city.
G
In
fact,
much
of
the
development
in
Philadelphia
has
seen
in
the
past
20
years
on
vacant,
industrial
sites
has
been
incentivized
in
part
by
the
Kaz
program.
The
legislation
before
you
today
is
sponsored
by
gimmick.
Johnson
will
allow
the
city
to
apply
to
the
Commonwealth
for
up
to
ten
years
of
Koz
benefits
for
several
key
development
sites.
It
collectively
referred
to
as
the
refinery
complex.
G
These
parcels
were
previously
authorized
by
city
council
and
approved
by
the
state
for
Koz
designation
in
2014.
When
the
refinery
employed,
nearly
8,000
people
was
threatened
with
closure.
At
that
time,
healthy
energy
solutions
or
PS
had
agreed
to
purchase
the
refinery
from
Sunoco
based
on
an
incentive
package,
including
Koz
benefits.
G
The
economic
viability
of
this
large
industrial
site
was
threatened
again
last
year
when
a
massive
explosion
closed
refinery
operation,
On,
June,
21st
2019
shortly
thereafter,
p/es
filled
for
been
filed
for
bankruptcy
protection.
After
determining
that
the
reconstruction
of
the
badly
damaged
refinery
was
not
economically
feasible.
G
The
managing
director
convened
a
series
of
meetings
with
city
officials,
community
residents
and
other
stakeholders
through
through
last
summer
to
develop
recommendations
on
the
future
of
the
refinery
site.
The
administration
has
remained
very
engaged
throughout
the
bankruptcy
proceedings
and
has
worked
directly
with
the
selected
bidder,
a
chicago-based
company,
with
experience
in
repositioning
large
contaminated
sites
for
productive
reuse
once
the
sale
is
completed
to
summer.
G
Timing
is
critical,
since
one
significant
portion
with
refineries
Sonny
has
Koz
benefits
expiring
at
the
end
of
this
year
in
work.
In
order
to
keep
kids
in
offenders
in
place,
the
city
is
required
to
submit
a
Kezia
extension
application
to
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Community
and
Economic
Development,
at
least
90
days
prior
to
expiration
or
more
later
than
October
1st
of
this
year.
G
The
extension
application
must
include
a
copy
of
from
City
Council
authorizing
the
city
to
submit
the
application,
as
with
previous
rounds
of
key
extensions
and
designations,
the
city
will
require
the
new
property
owner
to
enter
into
a
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes
or
pilot
agreement
in
the
amount
of
110
percent
of
what
otherwise
would
have
been
real
estate.
Tax
liability
for
the
onion
root
property
through
the
duration
of
the
Koz
benefits.
Since
there
are,
there
is
already
a
pilot
agreement
in
place
for
the
refinery
complex.
G
G
In
addition
to
the
110
percent
pilot
and
the
long-term
revenues
that
come
with
real
bubblin
of
the
refinery
complex,
the
city
will
seek
apprenticeship
and
workforce
opportunity
plans
for
all
phases
of
development
seeking
Koz
benefits.
The
Koz
program
provides
a
unique
opportunity
to
leverage
educational
and
workforce
development
opportunities
for
our
philadelphians.
The
city
remains
committed
to
working
with
Koz
developers
and
businesses
to
ensure
that
we
create
meaningful
opportunities
to
underserved
Philadelphians,
especially
those
from
the
neighborhoods
that
have
been
most
impacted
by
this
large
environmentally
contaminated
site.
G
In
conclusion,
the
Keystone
opportunity
zone
program
is
a
final
roll
and
the
continued
economic
development
of
Philadelphia
and
is
a
key
to
creating
new
jobs
for
our
residents.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
provide
testimony
here
today
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
at
this
time.
Thank.
A
You
Miss
Bob
I,
want
to
recognize
for
the
record
that
councilmember
Curtis,
Jones
jr.
is
also
present.
For
today's
hearing
and
I
see
he
as
well
as
councilman
teaming
has
some
questions.
I
just
had
some
initial
questions
as
well.
You
said
that,
with
this
project
that
there
will
be
a
pilot
for
a
110
percent
of
the
revenue
that
will
go
to
the
general
fund,
a
school
district,
meaning
that
there
will
be
10%
more
income
and
the
tradition
would
have
based
on
a
pilot.
G
A
Also
I
had
a
question
in
reference
to
the
fact
that
this
was
there
was
previously
a
Koz
at
this
location
of
the
proof
by
this
pot
in
2014,
and
that
this
is
asking
for
an
extension
of
that
and
the
application
is
due
by
October
1st
correct.
That's
correct
all
right,
and
so
the
reason
why
your
administration
is
supporting
this
now
is
because
the
desired
goal
was
to
have
this
legislation
authorized
to
then
go
to
the
Commonwealth.
For
that
extension
to
be
filed
sooner
than
later
correct.
That's.
A
A
H
You
always
get
the
rough
assignments.
I
always
said
that
to
you
how
much
and
if
you
have
estimates,
feel
free
I
won't
hold
you
to
it.
If
you
don't,
please
provide
this
information
to
the
Chairman.
How
much
is
that
worth
today.
G
G
Well
be
so
we
already
know,
because
there's
a
in
place
that
the
buyer
would
be
assuming.
We
know
that
the
pilot
right
now
calls
for
payments
just
above
one
and
a
quarter
million
dollars
per
year,
and
so
that
would
be
that
those
revenues
that
are
have
been
coming
in
while
the
current
owner
has
operated
the
site,
as
you
can
see,
have
sort
of
gone
to
the
general
fund
45%
to
the
general
fund,
approximately
and
55%,
to
the
school
district.
And
so
we
would
be
continuing
that
revenue
stream
to
those
without
Koz.
H
And
I
know
that
this
probably
is
fluid,
but
what
do
you
think
the
use
of
the
property
will
be
going
forward?
I've
heard
everything
from
lighting
industrial
to
residential.
If
you
were
and
considering
your
considerable
expertise
from
as
far
back
as
Wilmington
Delaware,
what
do
you
think
it
would
look
like
there.
G
H
G
Right,
it
straddles
both
sides
of
the
Schuylkill
River.
That's
right
so
because
of
its
location
on
Interstate
Highways,
with
rail
access
close
to
the
airport
close
to
the
ports
one,
we
expect
that
sort
of
one
significant
use
would
be
for
logistics
and
distribution,
but
there
could
be
lots
of
other
sort
of
uses,
including
light
industrial
or
commercial
I.
G
G
I
think
that
that's
absolutely
worth
the
discussion
I
mean
there
are
several
large
communities
are
impacted
by
this,
and
they
should
be
part
of
the
discussion
for
when
this
property
comes
back
to
City
Council
for
rezoning,
which
it
will
need
to
that's
the
appropriate
time
to
have
that
discussion.
I.
H
E
I,
we
can
have
you
council,
member
here,
wonderful,
thank
you
apologize
for
the
delay
and
thank
you
for
your
patience.
Thank
you
for
the
hearing.
Mr.
mr.
Baum,
as
always,
you
know
I,
and
this
body
hold
you
up
with
high
regards
and
have
the
utmost
respect
for
the
omen
work
that
you
do
and
the
way
you
present
the
issues
on
on
the
betterment
of
a
very
nice
blend
within
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
its
community.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
am
I
just
want
to
start
off
by
mentioning
you
know.
E
Some
of
the
questions
that
I
have
here
today
is:
do
we
have
certain
things
in
writing?
Not
just
commitments,
not
just
yes,
we'll
be
discussing
it,
but
in
writing
and
and
sadly
the
CEO
Roberto
Perez
is
not
here
to
answer
some
of
those
questions.
Although
I
know
he'll
Co
was
represented
by
their
attorney
and
I
I.
Don't
want
to
welcome
them
into
this
discussion.
You
know,
but
you
know,
Councilman
Jones
had
just
started
off.
E
You
know
in
the
line
of
you
know
when,
when
do
we
have
these
discussions,
so
we're
gonna
wait
for
a
zoning
overlay
in
September
when
there's
approvals
necessary
now.
Is
there
an
opportunity
for
a
community
benefits
agreement?
I
would
hope
so,
but
we
can't
have
those
discussions
now,
because
mr.
Perez
is
not
here.
E
G
And
all
I
guess
all
I
can
say
responding.
That
constantly
is
that
we
must
submit
an
application
no
later
than
October
1st,
and
that
application
must
include
some
key
elements.
There
was
an
authorization
by
this
body
authorizing
us
to
submit
the
application.
We
need
a
companion
piece
of
legislation
from
the
school
board
for
the
same
reason,
and
we
will
also
require
the
purchaser
to
have
executed
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes,
fines
who
are
submitting
the
application.
So
you
know
we
will
be
cement,
ok
and.
E
Sorry,
I
don't
want
to
totally
put
you
on
the
spot
point
I'm
trying
to
make
the
point
you
had
mentioned.
There's
you
know
some
missing
elements
here
and
one
of
the
things
that
and
I'm
a
very
big
fan
and
supporter
of
chaos,
ease,
I
believe
in
them
I
think
the
school
district
gets.
You
know
it's
ten
percent
above
its,
you
know,
you
know
property.
E
But
it
hasn't
been
assessed,
so
we
really
don't
know
at
this
point.
What
a
pilot
would
look
like
other
than
just
going
off
of
what
the
prior
uses
so
hell
are.
We
gonna
enter
into
a
pilot
agreement
when
the
school
district
hasn't
met
over
it
now
I'm
sure
we
could
do
a
letter,
but
would
that
letter
look
like
and
looks
like
the
value
of
that
letter
B
when
we
don't
have
a
cell,
you
know
they're,
they
haven't
gone
to
closing
it
and
I.
Don't
know
when
that's
gonna
be.
E
F
Address
he'll
come
around.
This
very
same
issue
needed
an
analysis
with
law
from
Australia
roundin,
so
they're
on
the
line
to
jump
in
and
answer
what
questions
they
can
and
what
information
they
can
ask
you
divulge
I
prior
to
them.
Closing
on
this
deal.
I
know
a
couple:
people
asked
about
the
community
benefits
agreement,
I've
already
been
in
commerce,
his
ilk
or,
regarding
that
aspect,
there's
two
parts
of
legislation
that
addresses
this
development
project.
This
is
the
beginning
of
the
process
and
also
overlay,
but
also
significantly
beyond
a
community
of
benefits.
Agreement.
A
E
Chairman
thank
you
and
to
my
colleague
and
friend,
and
councilman
Johnson.
Very
you
have
never
wavered
on
any
of
these
issues
and
I
know
you
have
been
in
the
vanguard
of
making
sure
that
local
people
and
local
businesses
have
that
opportunity
to.
You
know,
keep
on
the
front
lines
and
making
sure
that
it
reflects
the
goals
of
policies
of
this
body.
So
mr.
Chairman
I
guess
my
questions
should
be
asked
to
hELCO
and/or
their
representatives.
So
you
know
I
will
defer
to
them,
because
I
do
have
some
unanswered
questions.
A
Thank
You
mr.
Catherine
Heenan
I
believe
she
Jeremy
gray
and
Kevin
Boyle
Jeremy
from
Hill,
CO
and
Kevin
boy.
Australia
Ronin
are
on
the
call.
If
either
of
you
could
answer
the
questions
raised
by
Councillor
mackanin
before
you
begin
to
speak,
please
state
your
name
and
title
and
your
organisation
for
the
record.
B
This
is
Kevin
ball
from
strategy
Vernon
and
I'm,
going
to
defer
to
Jeremy
a
second
but
the
pilot
agreement
in
place.
It
is
anticipated
that
would
be
assigned
and,
as
it
was
discussed,
the
community
benefits
agreement
has
come
up
and
discussed
and
that
that
will
be
addressed
during
the
hearing
on
the
zoning
overlay
district
I.
Don't
think
there
will
be
issues
there.
B
I'm
Jeremy
I
think
would
be
useful
for
you
to
give
the
councilmen
and
the
whole
council
board
a
general
sense
of
what
you
know
the
best
you
can
bet
you
can
predict
with
respect
to
the
closing
and
also
just
a
general
construct
of
the
multi-faceted
aspects
of
the
proposed
development
and
obviously
the
job
creation,
and
you
know,
revenues
that
would
still
be
generated
by
the
activity
out
of
the
chaos.
A.
I
Excited
to
say
that
it's
very
complex,
especially,
but
we
are
talking
nowadays
not
weeks
so
I
just
clarify
that
we're
getting
very
close
on
materials
will
be
able
development
we
are
looking
to
redevelop
the
site
and
to
infinity
are
both
a
thousand
thirteen
specifically
1,300,
a
good
that
I
mean
I
will
just
expect
which
will
encompass
anywhere
from
13
to
15
million
square
feet
of
state-of-the-art
logistic
centers.
There
are
going
to
be
DJ
kept
the
structure
today.
I
Electric
vehicles
in
excess
of
landscape
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
city
and
the
council
tonight
as
we
develop
those
plans,
so
that
is
an
overview
of
the
development.
That
being
said,
we
do
have
a
draft
economic
impact
study
that
will
work
through
the
local
consultant
in
consult
and
they're
projecting
approximately
8,000
union
construction
workers
and
project
professionals
will
be
created
over
the
lifetime
of
this
project
and
also
about
10,000
permanent
long-term
jobs.
This
multi-billion.
D
I
Development
will
take
about
a
decade
to
complete
and
we're
looking.
You
know
from
this
economic
impact
study
to
generate
in
city
wages,
business
and
sale
tax
revenues
about
36
million
dollars
during
the
construction
phase
and
41
million
dollars
annually
after
the
sun's
fully
operational,
which
Rob
is
referred
to
the
köppen
19
economic
recovery.
So
we
are
very
committed
to
do
an
extensive
community
outreach
program
by
the
comments
about
a
CPA
and
what
the
councilman
said.
We
have
been
talking
about
that
and
look
forward
to
your
furthering
those
discussions.
I
Taking
the
next
steps,
we're
also
working,
you
know,
with
councilman
Johnson
talking
about
a
diverse
hiring
plan,
that'll
be
very
robust,
but
we
the
councilmen
indicated,
but
that
would
be
potentially
for
an
economic
opportunity
plan
DLP,
which
we
are
definitely
open
to
doing
and
and
excited
about
doing.
The
best
hiring
is
very
critical
to
our
core
values,
so
things
that
we
plan
on
doing
a
comprehensive
project.
I
Outreach
plans,
including
you
know,
South
Wales,
including
different
informational
session
public
transportation,
make
sure
these
jobs
say
within
the
community
are
working
with
the
councilman
and
the
city
of
Philadelphia
as
we
move
forward.
So
those
are
just
a
kind
of
given
already
on
some
of
the
questions
I
heard
just
when
we
sponsor
so.
A
Thank
You
mr.
gray,
I
know
councilman
Keenan
has
some
additional
questions
for
you.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
one
point
in
reference
to
mr.
Boyles
testimony,
so
mine
is
Danny
from
your
testimony
as
well
as
mr.
Baum's.
Testimony
there'll
be
another
piece
of
legislation
that
we
introduced
at
a
later
point
on
this
year
at
the
zoning
overlay
piece
of
legislation
which
would
be
introduced
by
council
member
Johnson
and
part
of
that
conversation,
there
would
be
a
community
benefits
agreement
being
discussed
and
negotiated
during
that
legislative
process.
A
Is
that
correct,
a
crack
councilman
and
that
community
and
that
Zillah
overlay
legislation
would
need
to
be
completed
prior
to
any
additional
steps?
Beyond
what
we're
doing
today,
that's
correct.
Thank
thank
you
for
this
point,
like
you
recognized
I,
Kevin,
Bobby
Heenan,
for
additional
questions
for
mr.
gray
from
Hilco.
E
Thank
You,
mr.
chairman
and
mr.
gray,
thank
you
for
joining
us
here
today
and
you
have
to
understand
the
magnets.
Well,
you
do
understand
the
magnitude
of
this
deal,
but
you
know
it's
an
incredible
responsibility
for
this
body
to
really
dive
deep
and
to
making
sure
that
at
1,300
acre,
which
used
to
employ
a
whole
lot
of
people
from
Philadelphia
in
a
region
or
it
has
the
best
opportunities
and
is
vetted
out
completely,
and
you
know
to
me
this
is
a
little
bit
rushed
because
we
really
haven't
had
that
much
conversation
regarding
this.
E
You
know,
there's
you
know
one
on
the
pilot.
Sorry,
so
my
question
to
you
is:
you
know:
when
will
that
let
her
get
done
all
right,
so
you
say
that
you
know
you're
gonna
have
a
letter
agreement
all
right.
When
will
that
get
done?
Are
you
sure
you're
gonna
close
on
the
deal,
because
you're
asking
us
to
take
a
little
bit
of
a
leap
of
faith
and
say:
okay,
you're
gonna
close
on
a
deal
not
sure?
E
E
So
is
there
anything
that
would
hold
back
their
closing
on
this
deal
on
your
end,
and
do
you
have
in
writing
that
the
the
guarantor
or
the
the
partner
from
from
the
previous
owner
is
going
to
commit
to
five
hundred
million
dollars
for
the
remediation
and
cleanup
of
the
environmental
that
they
have
there?
All
right
is
that
in
writing.
I
Yes,
so
again,
this
is
Jeremy
great.
Thank
you
for
those
questions.
You
know,
I
would
say
I'm
closing.
We
don't
see
anything
that
has
been
all
this
out.
We
are
getting
through
all
the
documents
that
we
are
funded
and
and
ready
to
close,
so
that
that
we
are
very
confident
about
is
a
release.
You
know
to
our
questions
and
on
the
pilot
I
would,
you
know,
maybe
defer
to
Kevin
a
little
bit
on
the
timing
of
that,
but
and
how
that
would
go
for
Kevin.
I
Really,
that's
the
most
modern
way
to
do
that.
That
includes
providing
an
engineered
barrier
for
everything
that
we're
proposing
to
develop,
including
building
saps,
drive,
aisles
and
parking
lots
through
roadways,
and
you
know
other
infrastructure
that
really
closes
out
the
remediation.
So
that
is
something
that
you
know.
We
don't
work.
I
You
know
with
the
agencies
on,
but
also
you
know
perform
or
you
so
have
responsibilities
like
you
mentioned,
so
we
have
agreements
with
them
to
work
as
partners
to
fully
remediate
the
site,
and
that
is,
you
know,
committed
to
from
a
funding
perspective
on
our
end.
So.
E
I
E
I
E
Is
this
deal
and
size
so
large
that
things
are
it
couldn't
happen
simultaneously
and
and
and
concurrent
like
you
know,
while
you
know
the
commercial
land
and
the
environmental
and
I
know
gets
you
know
very
complicated
and
I
know
it's
a
complicated
field.
You
know
it
just
seems
to
me:
things
are
in
dress
all
right.
There's
a
draft
economic!
E
You
know
economic
study,
there's
a
draft
AOP
play
most
times
when
people
come
in
and
and
developers
and
new
owners
come
in
front
of
City
Council.
When
you
know
they're
asking
for
incentives
and
approvals,
you
know
they,
you
know
already
have
an
EOP
plan.
They
already
have
an
economic
impact
Klan
now
understanding
that
the
EOP
plan
and
some
of
these
other
plans
and
CBA's
can
be
done
at
a
disowning
overlay,
all
right,
I'm,
just
just
curious.
You
know
because
we
need
you
know.
E
We
need
to
have
this
discussion
and
it's
feeling
rushed
and
it
may
be
rushed
I.
Just
wish
that
things
were,
you
know,
executed.
And/Or
finalized,
like
a
draft
report,
is
a
final
report
with
recommendations
and
letters
are
signed
in
funding.
So
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
voice.
My
concern
and
cautiousness
it
with
some
of
this.
You
know
and
I
didn't
touch
one,
the
our
rgn,
you
know
environmental
reuse,
I
think
is
a
wonderful
idea.
E
You
know
with
food
waste,
are
they
gonna
remain
or
are
you
gonna
move
them,
or
do
you
have
an
Elise
agreement
with
then
or
we
just
building
out
things
on
spec,
so
I
appreciate
your
time.
I'm
gonna
defer
some
of
my
time
since
I've,
taken
up
a
lot
of
it
and
to
my
my
colleagues
and
friends
and
I'll
circle
back
with
you,
mr.
chairman,
thank
you.
Thank.
D
You
very
much
mr.
chairman
and
good
afternoon,
everybody,
as
you
know,
the
site
clearly
is
the
first
time
that
we've
seen
an
opportunity
for
redevelopment
since
the
Civil,
War,
I,
guess,
and
that
you
know
clearly,
the
location
of
this
area
is
near
now,
one
of
the
most
densely
populated
areas
along
the
eastern
seaboard,
and
so
there
has
been
a
lot
of
active
community
engagement
and
involvement.
I
get
calls
from
my
constituents
on
a
regular
basis
about
what
is
happening
with
the
site
and
I.
D
Don't
have
a
lot
of
information
to
be
able
to
share
with
people
so
I
guess.
One
of
you
know
one
of
the
questions.
I
want
to
start
with
a
little
bit.
Is
you
kind
of
hinted
that,
like
establishing
a
state-of-the-art
facility,
there's
been
allusions
to
you
know
the
possibility
of
doing
warehousing
transit
use
foods,
food
waste?
D
You
know,
executions,
other
types
of
industries,
but
could
you
be?
Could
you
give
us
a
little
bit
more
of
specifics
or,
if
you
can't,
because
you
know
it
seems
to
me
that
there
might
be
an
issue
around
your
ability
to
articulate
a
clear
plan
for
the
industrial
park,
can
do
Wayne
Kim
mr.
Baum
articulate?
What
has
the
city
been
told
about?
What
the
actual
purpose
and
design
of
the
development
will
be.
B
I
Is
Jeremy
gray
again?
Thank
you,
I
would
serve
by
saying
to
the
first
question
was
about
community
outreach.
We
fully
intend
to
do
an
extensive
community
outreach
plan.
Both
you
know,
with
the
electeds
and
with
our
local
consulting
team
and
with
other
partners
or
stakeholders
as
soon
as
possible.
As
soon
as
closing
out
there
on
the
property,
a
community
engagement
is
absolutely
critical
to
us.
I
It's
very
important
to
get
feedback
from
the
community
as
we're
developing
our
plans,
but
right
now
what
I
would
say
is
the
master
plan
that
were
only
proposing
is,
you
know
specifically
showing
light
industrial.
You
know
called
logistics
centers
that
can
be
utilized
as
either
ecommerce
facilities,
light
manufacturing.
I
They
could
be
used
for
last
mile
and
then
even
some
potential
for
R&D
research
and
development
type
facility
in
the
benefit
there
is
at
the
puzzle,
location,
the
other
structure
perspective.
That's
around
the
property
which
Israel
Redux.
We
really
have
a
good
opportunity
for
supply
and
also
to
these
facilities.
D
I
Absolutely
we
we
are,
we
are
very
focused
and
having
a
sustainable
industrial
park
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
specifically
we're
looking
to
incorporate
different
initiatives
such
as,
for
example,
alternative
energy
abilities.
A
lot
of
our
facilities
have
solar
panels
on
the
roofs
of
our
facilities,
which
we
can
use
to
generate
generate
power.
Obviously,
in
a
more
green
fast,
also
we're
focused
on
putting
in
infrastructure
to
accommodate
electric
vehicles.
I
We
see
electrification
of
vehicles
beating
the
wave
of
the
future,
so
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
incorporate
into
our
into
our
development
as
it
relates
to
specific
buildings,
we're
also
looking
and
proposing
to
do
an
extensive
landscape
plan,
specifically
naturalize
landscaping
by
us
rails
that
really
look
good
from
an
aesthetic
standpoint,
but
also
provide
a
lot
of
environmental
benefit
as
well
lighting
we're
looking
to
do
LED
lighting
we're
also
looking
you
know
as
part
of
the
overall
B
development.
In
addition,
you
know
to
doing
everything
for.
I
Auto
program
and
we're
looking
to
actually
recycle
as
much
material
that's
out
there
today,
that
is
possible.
So,
for
example,
if
we're
doing
demolition,
we're
looking
to
use
those
materials
after
doing
testing
on
those
who
uses
backfill
to
keep
as
much
of
that
out
of
landfills,
that
reuse
it
in
a
beneficial
way
and
then
finally,
I
would
say
just
again.
The
overall
remediation
plan
is
really
to
cap.
The
site
with
you
know,
like
I,
mentioned
before
the
development
components
such
as
pavement
and
building
slabs
on
the
site
and.
D
You're
committed
that
before
any
kind
of
major
demolition,
there
would
be
like
full
information
sent
to
both
the
city
and
nearby
residents
and
that
the
city
would
it
be
a
substitute
for
information
to
residents
so
that
there
might
not
be.
You
know,
a
demolition
of
a
particular
area
without
residents
being
aware
of
it
and
certainly
being
hyper
conscious
about
any.
You
know,
emissions
or
other
types
of
things
that
might
happen
as
a
result
of
the
demolition.
Yes,.
I
Correct
correct:
you
know
to
do
that
in
several
different
ways,
whether
it
be
community
meetings
having
active
project
websites.
Even
you
know,
robocalls
sending
out
flyers
we're
working
with
local
community
engagement
and
really,
you
know,
work
together
to
make
sure
the
community
is
informed,
going
to
be
opening
up
an
office
in
Philadelphia
right
on-site.
It's
going
to
have
our
staff
there
24/7
and
have
local
people
that
are
working
on
behalf
of
Elko
as
well.
So
the
goal
is:
have
an
expensive
community
outreach
plan
and
be
completely
transparent
as
we
go
through
the
process.
D
D
So
the
legislation
stipulates
that
the
redevelopment
that
the
redevelopment
is
projected
to
generate
above
10,000
permanent
jobs,
you've
the
you've,
made
a
commitment
to
ensure
that
they're
filled
largely
by
local
residents.
Do
you
have
a
commitment
around
what
types
of
jobs
that
they
might
be
with
a
living
wage
and
fair
schedules
and
appropriate
benefits.
I
We
are
going
to
be
working
with
top
tier
tenants
that
have
best
hiring
practices
and
are
going
to
be
good.
Community
partners,
ultimately
we'll
be
in
several
different
companies
that
the
main
driver,
besides
of
logistics,
manages
that
I
mentioned,
which
you
are
close.
Proximity
to
the
airport,
close
proximity
to
the
highway
rail
marine.
The
big
driver
here
is
the
population
and
the
fact
that
there
is
such
a
strong
labor
force
on.
E
I
Yes,
yes,
so
Baltimore
was
an
old
bethlehem,
steel
mill
very
contaminated
that
was
purchased
and
developed
before
my
time
ago,
co
on
several
years
ago,
and
that
was
taken
through
a
comprehensive
cleanup
program
with
US
epa,
the
same
range
in
region,
3
and
redeveloped
into
a
very
similar
type
project.
You
know
that
that
is
a
state
of
the
art
industrial
center
that
currently
has
about
I
want
to
say
six
to
seven
million
square
feet
of
industrial
users.
It
has
been
a
huge
job
generator.
You
know
thousands
of
jobs
for
for
Baltimore
for
that
site.
B
D
Projects
can
get
very
complicated
and
I.
You
know
I
I'm
sure
that
one
of
the
reasons
why
you
are
here-
and
we
are
having
this
discussion
about
the
Koz-
is
in
large
part
because
of
your
work
in
certain
areas
where
it's
been
exceptional.
But,
as
you
know,
you
are
a
large
company
and
there
are
other
projects
that
haven't
gone
quite
as
well
as
the
Baltimore
project
and
I.
Think
one
other
things
that
we
just
want
to
make
sure
of
is
that
this
project
becomes
one
of
your.
D
You
know.
One
of
those
Chinese
stars
in
your
portfolio-
and
you
know
is-
is
a
top-tier
pointing
to
as
to
why
the
country
can
actually
take
antiquated
facilities
and
reconvert
them
into
you
know,
as
you
say,
a
state-of-the-art,
modern
vision,
but
that
requires
us
to
have
a
real
commitment
for
some
for
most
to
that
environmental
remediation.
That
I
think
my
council
member
genome
was
discussing
to
know
that
we
are
gonna,
have
a
commitment
to
do
that,
and
also
you
know
again
that
we
are
a
city
that
struggles
with
poverty.
D
We
are
making
a
conscious
decision
about
taxation
and
that
time,
when
our
budget
is
pretty
much
going
belly-up,
but
we
need
a
commitment
to
that
living
wage,
fair
schedules,
decent
benefits,
many
warehousing
facilities
do
not
offer
those
things.
For
example,
top
tier
employers
don't
offer
those
types
of
things.
So
I
just
want
to
make
clear
that
the
the
focus
will
be
whether
or
not
the
employer
is
considered
like
a
top
tier
employer.
We're
in
a
world
in
which
some
of
the
wealthiest
companies
and
stellar
companies
in
the
nation
can
see
CEOs
and
their.
D
D
I
Yeah
I
think
you
know
from
my
perspective,
and
you
know
Kevin
you
could
jump
in,
but
obviously
we're
very
committed
to
working
with
the
city
on
exactly
what
you
just
mentioned.
Making
sure
that
you
know
these
jobs
are,
you
know
good
wage
jobs
that
everybody
is
very
happy
with
and
their
long-term
jobs
and
the
jobs
today
within
the
community
and
people
are
able
to
get
to
these
jobs
easily
by
enhancing
public
transportation
and
making
sure
these
jobs
are
known.
I
You
know
through
job
fairs
and
working
with
local
partners
within
the
city
of
Philadelphia
I'm
different
job
force
agencies,
different
agencies,
as
it
relates
to
Chambers
of
Commerce-
and
you
know
really,
you
know
making
sure
the
outreaches
is
is-
is
very
strong.
I
think
you
know
we
are
doing
this
all
over
the
country.
We
have
acquired
40
million
square
feet,
absolutely
obsolete
industrial
sites
across
the
country,
have
redevelopment
to
better
and
higher
years
and
to
state-of-the-art
facilities,
and
we
are
committed
to
working
with
the
city
here.
They
have
a
great
development.
We
really
are.
D
How
can
we
ensure
that
there's
a
commitment
that
these
jobs
are
actually
filled
by
local
residents,
that
we
can
make
sure
that,
for
example,
are
the
jobs
for
environmental
remediation
of
the
site
included
into
10,000?
How?
How
are
you
looking
at
the
guarantee
about
local
residents
filling
it,
and
is
there
like
a
percentage
that
you're
shooting
for
that?
We
can
be
that
we
can
be
confident
about
the
chair,
making
I.
I
Would
say
from
the
job
projection
perspective,
just
to
be
clear:
the
construction,
the
union
construction
workers
and
projected
project
professionals,
those
projections,
that's
about
8,000,
the
permanent
jobs
are
about
10,000.
So
the
total
projections
right
now
are
looking
to
be
18,000.
Jobs
between
the
two
I
think
you
know
working
closely
with
Philadelphia
councilman
Johnson,
especially
as
it
relates
on,
relates
to
a
diversity
plan
and
a
hiring
plan.
What
I
would
envision
is
that
we
focus
on
keeping
local
hiring.
I
I
A
projection
right
now,
I
would
say,
in
my
opinion,
the
main
reason
our
tenants
are
going
to
be
looking
you
know
to
to
occupy
the
logistics
centers.
We're
building
is
because
of
the
labor
force
in
Philadelphia.
How
do
we
get
somebody
to
work
easily?
How
do
how
does
that
happen?
So
I
wouldn't
say
the
majority
of
them
is
something
that
advocate
focus.
I
I
think
it's
subject
to
you
know
just
finalizing
requirements
under
DOP
or
CBA,
but
I
would
envision
50.
D
Okay-
and
you
know,
I
have
a
lot
of
confidence
in
my
council
colleagues
when
Johnson,
who
has
been
you
know,
just
a
tremendous
leader
on
the
diversity
minority,
hiring
and
especially
local,
hiring
and
I'm
sure
he'll
be
a
great
partner
to
hold
you
accountable
to
that.
So
I
appreciate
that
the
last
thing
is
my
question
is
for
mr.
Baum.
G
Council,
as
you
know,
we
did
an
analysis
past
year
of
our
of
seven
of
our
key
incentive
programs,
Koz
being
one
of
those.
The
intention
at
that
time
was
to
help
to
use
as
we're
benchmarking
to
to
develop
a
serve
in
an
incentive
program
that
that
could
replace
some
of
the
programs
that
we
had
to
consolidate
some
of
the
tax
credits
and
other
incentives
we
had
in
place,
and
we've
worked
with
city
council
staff
in
putting
that
together.
G
The
challenge
has
been
served
indeed
now
during
the
pandemic
crisis.
All
funding
that
we
had
hoped
to
put
into
that
incentive
program
that
would
have
sort
of
new
sort
of
transparency
and
benchmarks
was
was
by
a
necessity
repositioned
or
immediately
for
relief
for
existing
small
businesses,
and
so
in
the
short-term
and
partly
through
the
next
12
to
18
months.
D
Well,
my
question
was
about
whether
your
department
and
is
taking
a
look
at
improved
benchmarks,
because,
right
now,
when
we
talk
about
Kazee
programs,
we,
you
know
I
authored
a
piece
of
legislation
back
in
2016.
In
fact,
it
was
the
first
one
they
authorized
that
required,
reporting
back
it
four
years
or
five
years
later
has
yielded
marginal
results,
most
of
them
self-reported
in
terms
of
jobs,
job
quality
retention,
all
of
these
kinds
of
things
and
I
think
obviously
we're
deeply
invested
and
hopeful
about
this
particular
project.
D
That
should
that
should
strengthen
what
we
know
to
be
very
weak
points
and
many
of
our
incentive
programs
so
I'm
trying
to
understand
that
I.
Don't
you
know,
are
you
saying
that
you
can't
even
establish
better
benchmarks
for
incentive
programs
that
we
know
have
their
weaknesses?
That's
not
a
priority
right
now,
because
of
kovat
and
the
current
budget.
Part
Isis
is
that
what
I'm
hearing
from
you.
G
G
G
The
state
in
that
application
does
not
require
some
level
of
information
about
annual
investments
about
jobs
created.
It
does
not
give
to
detail
that,
in
fact,
we
asked
for
in
our
annual
financial
reporting
requirements
of
the
reporting
service
conducted
under
the
legislation
that
you
have
sponsored,
but
businesses
do
sort
of
provide
that
information.
It's
a
voluntary
basis.
We
in
Congress
verify
the
information,
because
is
a
taxpayer
has
testing
or
confidentiality?
A
Thank
You
councilmember
again
actually
before
I,
go
to
councilmember
Sanchez
for
additional
question.
Mr.
boma,
this
hasn't
questioned
the
reference
to
I'm.
Sorry,
no
mr.
Bob,
mr.
Garre
from
Hilco
I
just
had
some
additional
questions
in
reference
to
some
of
the
things
that
were
put
on
the
record
by
Councilman
John,
says
laws
yourself
and
others.
Regarding
this
project.
I
know
you're,
currently
negotiating
a
marketing
this
location
for
potential
tenants.
Can
you
give
a
perspective
and
I
know?
A
You
probably
cannot
provide
the
nature
of
names
of
those
tenants,
but
some
of
the
types
of
jobs
and
give
a
little
more
detail.
You
talked
in
a
more
macro
perspective
about
the
numbers
of
jobs,
but
if
you
could
give
it
a
little
more
perspective
on
the
types
of
jobs
and
from
your
understanding
of
the
salary
ranges,
you
said
tier
one,
but
this
one
I
get
some
perspective
on
the
types
of
jobs
and
the
salary
ranges.
A
I
I
Absolutely
I
mean
this
is
really
all
of
our
target.
Tenants,
if
you
will,
you
know,
attend.
Instead
we're
going
to
be
marketing
to
really
are
going
to
be
doing
e-commerce,
anything
that
benefits
from
from
the
supply
chain,
advantages
surrounding
the
site,
light,
manufacturing,
warehouse,
district
warehouse
and
distribution,
and,
potentially
you
know
some
some
R&D
research
will
develop
the
tech
facilities
as
well.
So
I
say
logistics,
it
is
a
wide
range
of
could
be
anywhere
from
anything
from
you
know,
who's.
I
Managing
how
you
know
trucks
are
moving
out
of
facilities
and
distribution
network
to
products
that
are
delivered
to
you
know
you
know
once
whole
olympus
e-commerce
or
if
it's
you
know,
going
to
different
distribution,
centers
or
different
areas
of
the
country,
so
that
could
be.
You
know
a
wide
range
of
jobs.
It
can
also
be
focused
on
a
lot
of
our
tenants
now
that
have
a
very
significant
build-outs
have
you
know,
high
level
of
mechanization
in
their
warehouses?
I
You
know
things
like
click
modules,
conveyors
and
things
like
that,
so
so
those
kind
of
jobs
you
know
really
for
a
supply
chain
perspective,
I'm,
gonna,
be
generated
by
our
tenant
and
then
also
I
should
mention.
There's
you
know
with
that
level,
build-out
that
we're
seeing
with
these
tenants
now
it
is
no
longer.
I
You
know
just
at
all,
just
a
basically
a
typical
box
type
development,
it's
very
sophisticated
from
an
equipment
perspective,
so
you
now
have
different
mechanical
type
jobs
that
could
be
created
with
that
as
well,
through
made
its
perspective
and
other
other
types
of
you
know,
mechanical
positions,
so
that
that's
you
know
just
high-level
the
jobs
of
where
we're
targeting
also
will
have.
You
know
the
rail
facilities
that
are
operating
so
that
you
know
are
gonna,
generate
jobs
at
the
rail
industry
and
then
also
on
the
low
mean
side.
I
You'll
have
jobs
that
are
generated
from
that
perspective,
they're
also
German,
proposing
they
have
a
commercial
component
here
when
you
create
such
economic
and
an
economic
benefit
like
this.
In
this
large
of
a
scale,
you
almost
create
your
own
ecosystem
for
your
duty
in
place
for
different
employees
to
grab
gas
or
grab
food
or
grab
a
sandwich,
so
we're
also
looking
in
you
know,
adapting
commercial
components
to
the
site
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
serve.
You
know
those
services
for
the
workers
that
are
there
looking
in
the
park.
A
I
A
Okay,
and
also
just
one
other
file
question
before
we
have
councilor
Sanchez
Wayne
with
questions,
you
also
response
to
councilor
McGinnes
questions
talk
about
some
of
the
environmental
perspectives
at
the
location.
You
talked
about
solar
panels
and
some
other
environmental
initiative.
Is
there
going
to
be
a
desire
to
make
this
a
zero
emissions
or
close
to
zero
emissions
location
throughout
this
facility?
A
I
Are
going
to
work
with
our
tenants
to
keep
and
try
to
implement
programs
to
reduce
emissions
specifically,
like
I
mentioned
infrastructure
for
electric
vehicles.
We
see
that
as
being
something.
That's
you
know
a
wave
of
the
future
and
we're
going
to
provide
the
infrastructure
to
support
that.
Assuming
you
know,
a
tenant
wants
to
make
that
decision,
so
that'll
be
incorporated
into
our
into
our
design
as
we
go
forward.
J
J
It
seems
like
this
is
such
a
regulatory
light
decision-making?
Was
there
an
official
request
made
to
the
state
for
a
delay
or
continuation
so
that
we
could
do
both
this
zoning
overlay
and
this
together,
as
opposed
to
rush
again
like
not
that
so
was
there
because
they
to
the
statement
that
they
deny
us.
G
Our
councilman
there
was
not
a
request
made
to
the
state
to
extend
the
filing
deadline
for
the
extension
application.
If
that's
what
you're
asking
that
too,
does
the
state
could
not
administrate
administrative
League
grant
that
it
would?
It
would
require
state
legislation
to
change
the
underlying
Koz
undulated
legislation?
G
J
It
was
a
moving
target
around
the
Koz,
so
I
just
again,
just
because
this
is
such
an
important
conversation
for
such
an
important
partial
in
our
city
and
not
withstanding.
You
know,
as
my
colleagues
have
said,
that
councilman
Johnson
is
going
to
try
to
navigate
this
as
much
as
possible,
but
we
are
adding
an
incredible
amount
of
value
to
an
unknown
owner
or
you
know
perspective,
and
it's
a
very
uncomfortable
for
all
of
us
to
make
these
companies
make
these
decisions
silo.
J
So
I
just
also
want
to
put
that
on
the
record
and
again
you
know
the
post
Kovach
world
is,
is
quite
complicated
and
and
I
get
it
as
it
relates
to
to
the
developers.
You
talked
about
that
you
were
going
to
robust
communications
outreach
strategy.
Has
those
consultants
been
hired?
Who
are
they
and
do
you
have
at
least
a
framework
of
what
that's
going?
To
look
like
that
you
can
share
to
the
committee
before
a
final
decision
is
made.
I
We
have
the
reviews
and
other
projects,
community
meetings,
project
websites,
and
you
know
just
making
sure
that
we
are
able
to
get
feedback
from
the
community
as
these
plans
are
developed
and
as
we
go
through
the
process.
So
the
community
engagement
perspective,
the
community
meetings,
for
example,
you
know
oftentimes,
we
have
workshop
sessions
where
we
have
different
stations
set
up
specifically
to
each
component
of
the
development,
whether
it
be
or
the
remediation
or
a
proposed
design
and
get
feedback
from
the
community
in
that
forum.
I
We
also
want
to
make
sure
what
the
community
is
engaged
as
it
relates
to
jobs
like
we
mentioned.
So
you
know
looking
to
partner
up
with
local
job
agencies.
They
were
founders
both
from
a
construction
project
perspective
and
then
obviously
the
permanent
jobs.
So
we
are
talking
to
different.
We
are
talking
to
different
consultants
right
now
that
we're
running
an
interview
process
on
there
were
close
to
making
some
final
selections,
but
there's
about
three
or
four
poems
that
were
I'm
still
talking
to
I'm.
I
J
What
can
you
share
from
your
previous
projects,
as
you
mentioned,
Baltimore
and
others
that
would
help
us
clarify
where
your
stance
is
going
to
be.
You
know
we
constantly
in
the
city
have
a
debate
about
who
builds
versus
who
works
and
the
builders
will
always
win.
Building
Trades
builds
and
then
the
workers
ways
we
end
up
having
to
go
back
and
clean
up
to
make
sure
to
councilman,
Kim's
point
and
others
that
there
are
fair
wages
and
those
are
licensed
dating
jobs.
What
from?
I
Yeah
I
think
we
mentioned
you
know
we
are
committed
to
working
with
the
city,
you
know
in
the
CBA
or
other
documents
to
make
sure
that
we're
fully
aligned
from
a
hiring
approach.
You
know
we've
and
other
projects
I,
have
entered
into
project
labor
agreements,
which
you
know
we're
looking
to
do
here,
and
you
know
we
have
different
hiring
goals
that
we've
entered
into
on
other
projects
as
well
that
relate
to
minority
women,
owned
and
local
hiring
practices.
J
I
just
feel
like
there
was
so
much
community
outcry
on
this
particular
parcel
and
in
our
brush
to
this
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
really
could
put
in
some
benchmarks
and
some
you
know,
state
guard
rails
right
for
us
to
meet
certain
goals
that
I
and
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
again
we're
all
interested
in
restarting
the
economy.
We
understand
this
is
a
big
project,
but
I
feel,
like
you
know
we
could
have.
B
B
At
this
point
with
the
by
the
time
the
overlay
district
comes
and
the
overlay
district
ordinance
comes
before
you
I
think
many
of
the
questions
that
you're
raising
now
with
respect
to
what
is
being
said
and
what
is
actually
on
paper,
will
be
much
more
defined
and
once
closing
occurs.
Elko
is
going
to
be
in
a
much
better
position
to
begin
a
community
outreach
and
to
provide
much
more
of
the
documentation
that
you're
looking
for
to
back
up
the
statements,
which
is
clearly
understandable
to
healthcare
that
that's
something
that
you
would
be
seeking.
B
But
it's
basically
that
the
time
constraints
that
were
on
there
with
respect
to
the
Koz,
that's
necessitating
a
lot
for
you
today,
but
but
it,
but
it's
not
as
if
this
is,
if
there's
still
the
zoning
overlay.
That
will
give
you
a
whole
other
series
of
opportunities
to
have
the
documentation
and
have
the
agreements
that
are
looking
to
solidify.
J
So
maybe
just
the
letter
saying
all
of
those
things
will
come
when
that
process
happens,
because
we
also
don't
want
to
wait
and
right.
We
don't
want
to
get
wait
till
September
and
then
councilman
Johnson
has
to
present
legislation.
What
is
going
to
be
happen
between
now
and
getting
to
that
place?
What
are
the
steps
that
you're
gonna
guarantee
us
are
going
to
happen?
There's
going
to
be
a
robust,
could
be
an
engagement
plan
and
consulting
will
be
hired.
You
know
we're
gonna
have
goals,
you
know,
labor
peace.
J
You
know
we're
gonna
build
a
certain
way,
we're
going
to
ensure
family
sustaining
jobs.
Even
if
it's
just
an
attached
letter
that
says
we
recognize
these
things.
We
have
the
experience
and
we've
done
it
before
and
we
commit
to
submit
that
to
Council
as
soon
as
those
things
become
available
with
some
benchmarks,
I,
just
I,
don't
want
to
be
in
a
situation
where
again.
This
is
a
major
value
piece
that
we
don't
have
agreements
around
the
values
that
council
is
hugely
committed
to
and
wants
to
see
happen.
J
A
I
I
Until
today
there
was
over
a
hundred
and
twenty-five
examples
of
community
outreach
events
that
we
host,
for
example,
so
that
includes
partnerships
with
the
Hispanic
America
Construction
Industry,
Association
known
as
hacia,
also
the
other
Hispanic
Chamber
of
Commerce
I'm,
going
to
build
you
more
commerce
and
those
types
of
other
other
groups,
so
that
that's
just
you
know
in
Chicago
at
least
what
we've
done
I
know,
we've
done
a
lot
of
choke
point.
I
just
wasn't
personally
involved
with
it
because
of
my
time.
A
F
If
they
would
commit
to
answering
questions,
they
were
asked
of
my
colleagues
in
writing
prior
to
the
paperwork
to
the
state
and
the
fall,
but
also
prior
to
us,
bringing
their
legislation
out.
I
would
also
like
for
you
to
provide
as
much
information
as
possible.
Just
have
the
follow
up
arms
to
my
colleagues
on
regarding
this
particular
bill.
Thank
you.
H
H
Regional,
yes,
I,
probably
take
that
councilor
Johnson
having
to
deal
with
big
institutions
like
the
airport,
is
not
unfamiliar
with
those
concept
back
and
forth
negotiation,
so
I
trust
it.
This
is
just
a
dating
process
right
now
and
if
you
can
hear
you
came
before
a
family
and
they
asked
you
a
whole
bunch
of
questions
before
you
ever
even
went
on
a
prom.
But
if
you
intend
to
get
married
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
you
need
to
answer
at
least
to
the
satisfaction
of
some
of
the
members.
These
questions.
Why?
H
H
Finally,
this
is
the
dating
phase
again
when
member
Johnson
introduces
the
Overland
who
get
a
detailed
look
at
what's
wanted,
but
it's
being
proposed.
So
we
have
time
I
think
it
was
a
good
exercise
today,
because
you've
got
to
experience
some
of
the
areas
of
concern
that
the
chair
and
the
members
and
so
hopefully-
and
we
appreciate
you
coming
in
to
Philadelphia-
to
take
on
this
mammoth
project.
But,
however,
nevertheless
it
has
to
be
inclusive
and
I.
Guess
that's
the
best
word
and
with
that
mr.
chairman
I'm
I'm
done.
A
C
Thank
you
very
much.
I
have
a
whole
bunch
of
zip
codes
that
I
would
like
to
include
your
man
and
make
sure
that
folks
are
included,
but
seriously.
You
know,
like
many
of
my
questions
and
statements
have
already
been
made,
so
I'm
not
going
to
believe
at
the
point.
I
think
what
is
important
here
is
that
we
recognize
a
couple
of
things
and
that
is
that
number
one
councilman
Kenyatta
Johnson
has
a
history
of
following
up
following
through
and
ensuring
diversity.
C
I
stand
that
they're
ready
to
be
of
assistance
if
I
can
be
of
help
to
you
councilman
in
that
area.
Please
feel
free
to
count
on
me
and
beyond
that
regarding
Hilco
I,
just
want
to
say
that
just
today,
I
was
made
aware
of
a
huge
development,
I
won't
say
or
was
we're
all
very
familiar
with
it,
but
near
my
district,
a
huge
development
in
which
there
were
promises
me
and
then
the
developer
after
it
was
all
said
and
done.
They
walked
away.
They
walked
away
from
the
community
benefits
agreement.
C
This
is
a
highly
successful,
successful
project
and
we
cannot
allow
that
to
happen
again.
So
I
know
that
the
councilmen
will
be
on
it.
All
eyes
will
be
on
this
project.
It's
an
incredible
piece
of
real
estate.
This
is
an
incredible
opportunity,
I
believe
for
Hill
Cove
and
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
and
so
we're
just
going
to
be
paying
attention
and
we
look
forward
to
receiving
and
writing
as
much
documentation
oprius
projects
as
you
can
provide,
so
that
we
know
what
your
track
record
and
your
history
is.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
E
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
again
Thank
You
colleagues,
and
we
ought
to
be
able
to
be
proud
of
this
body
with
the
depth
of
of
the
questioning
and
I,
want
to
echo
a
couple
and
just
make
some
some
statements
to
Tabo,
Jerry
and
and
and
and
Kevin.
You
know
regarding
this
process
and
you
know
as
we
welcome.
We
really
do.
We
welcome
him,
so
you
know
to
Councilwoman
Sanchez's.
You
know
I
think
think
she
said
it
best
where
you
know
we
want
this.
E
Thirteen
hundred
acre
to
reflect
the
values
of
our
policies
here
and
in
this
body
and
I
think
that's
that
that
should
be
a
demand
not
in
it.
So
we're
asking
you
know
that
you
work
with
councilman
Johnson,
all
right,
who
is
collaborating
with
us
to
make
sure
that
we
get
there
and
we
get
there
quick
all
right,
because
I'm
hearing
a
little
conflicting
timelines
on
closing
window
time
is
right
when
we
get
closer
to
closing
on
on
the
property.
Well,
I
thought
that
was
gonna
be
this
week
or
next
week.
E
So
you
know
the
timing
of
this
is
now
and
it's
not
in
September,
and
it's
not
when
we
come
back
and
do
the
zoning
overlay
cuz
most
people
to
come
to
us
all
right
with
chaos
ease
with
an
EOP
plan.
I
mean
you're,
getting
all
kind
of
light
on
the
information
that's
being
requested
right,
because
no
other
people
have
continued
hearings
and
then
I
don't
want
to
continue
this
hearing
I'm
not
suggesting
that
every.
But
you
know
other
people
have
because
they
failed
to
have
a
final
Economic
Opportunity
plan.
E
F
And
thank
you
very
much
and
I.
Thank
my
colleagues
for
just
doing
their
due
diligence.
I
do
just
want
to
mention
one
key
component:
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
who
sees
information
on
any
process
of
me
meeting
with
the
developers
with
their
team
and
this
doing
a
deep
dive
around
some
of
the
key
areas
that
was
just
mentioned.
Regarding
the
EOP
plan,
the
community
benefits
agreement
and
the
community
engagement
component.
F
The
focus
was
around
the
overlay
process.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
for
the
record,
because
normally
on
this
harder
process,
it
has
worked
in
the
past
and
so
not
to
contradict
anyone
elses
statement.
Nevertheless,
that
is
our
key
focus
of
making
sure
that
implication
is
provided
primarily
looking
at
the
overall
overlay
process,
because
that's
when
the
ophie
ophie
process
is
actually
triggered.
F
E
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
and
councilman
Jones
or
Johnson
you're
right
I
mean
they.
You
know
you
were
having.
You
know,
conflating
conversations
and
discussions,
sorry
one
you
know
with
the
Koz
and
the
other.
You
know.
That's
typically
talked
about.
You
know
thorny
overlay,
GOP
plan,
although
it's
not,
they
tend
to
be
with
both,
mostly
into
Koz
x'.
Prior
to
that
alright,
so
I
have
three
questions
and
the
and
then
I'll
end
with
a
recap.
A
E
So
I
have
three
questions
and
then
I'm
gonna
end
it
with
you
know
just
a
recap,
not
recap
conversation
but
Repat
recap,
topics
in
which,
by
the
way,
I
will
work
with
and
the
councilman
Johnson
as
a
sponsor
because
he
does
know
how
to
collaborate
with
with
his
colleagues.
Sorry.
So
my
first
question
Jeremy.
Maybe
you
can
enlighten
one
sparrows
point
in
Baltimore
we
you
talked
about
it,
have
and
has
how
have
we
learned
anything?
E
Have
you
learned
anything
in
Baltimore
or
that
will
help
here
in
Philadelphia
as
far
as
not
necessarily
the
governance
process
or
in
communications
but
I
mean,
did
you
meet
all
your
commitments
in
Sparrows,
Point
and
Hal?
Is
it
gonna
be
different
to
Philadelphia
because
we're
not
Baltimore,
although
we
can
learn
from
it
and
we're
not
Chicago,
we
are
Philadelphia.
So
that's
my
that's.
My
first
question.
I
E
I
E
And
are
there
any
my
last
question
and
then
and
all
and
with
just
a
very
very
brief
I
promise
to
all
my
colleagues
and
and
to
all
on
the
call
I
will
end
with
the
recap
of
just
topics:
real
quick.
Are
there
any
other
issues
that
you
had
concerns
with
and
that
you're
trying
to
work
through
at
this
moment.
I
No
comes
from
the
nice
thing
for
all
the
time
we
had
to
do
to
diligence
here
and
all
the
outreach
that
we've
done
initially
with
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
councilman
Johnson
was
labeled
with
all
stakeholders
in
the
area
and
has
really
given
us
a
lot
of
confidence,
see
how
this
business
plan
that's
required
from
a
community
perspective,
but
then
also
just
a
physical
construction
to
be
developed
understanding.
You
know,
obviously
with
our
with
our
consulting
team
and
our
experts,
what's
required
for
made
a
mediation
perspective
and
to
actually
you
know,
put
this
back
into
cobblers.
E
You
know
Gerry,
we
are
the
same
and
we
were
excited
about
that
there,
especially
in
light
of
this.
You
know
international
pandemic
that
we're
going
through
and
now's
the
time
to
create
jobs,
not
put
up
obstacles
or
you
know,
making
it
making
it
too
difficult.
Are
you
building
one
SPECT
or
do
you
have
end
users
or
tenants
that
you
are
and
I
don't
need
you
to
disclose
it
because
of
you
know
confidentiality,
but
are
you,
are
you?
I
E
I
On
the
development
roles
and
responsibilities,
so
are
we
deal
with
the
city
of
Philadelphia
will
be
Macomb
and
our
local
team,
which
you
know
you
know
some
of
the
boats
of
a
forest
rather
grown
in
others.
You
know
from
dealing
with
passion
and
different.
You
know
team
members
that
we've
hired
to
join
our
team
here.
Several
is
great.
E
And
that
is
wonderful
to
know,
because
then
you
are
the
decision-makers,
and
you
know
when
we
come
up
with
a
policy
and
there's
an
agreement.
That's
made
for
the
overall
site
that
we're
discussing
now.
I
would
hope
that
there
will
be
agreements
that
goes
to
the
tenants
as
subleases.
Are
you
guys
willing
to
entertain
that.
E
I
want
to
thank
you
both,
for
you
know
answering
as
best
of
your
ability
at
this
time
the
questions
that
we
have
here
out
of
the
body
and
look
forward
to
continuing
with
that
along
with
well,
you
know,
through
counsel,
that
I
know
you're
on
the
line
there.
I
will
be
putting
a
list
of
questions
of
recap.
E
You
know
from
this
hearing
to
you
and
and
love
to
be
a
part
of
pipeline
and
operations
and
construction
and
how
we
can
really
you
know,
be
a
an
example
of
repurpose
and
reuse
of
industrial
properties
and,
lastly,
I
just
wanna
say
Duane
bomb.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
don't
know
what
the
city
would
do
without
you
and
we
appreciate
all
your
time
and
dedication
to
public
service.
Mr.
chairman,
that's
all
I
have
I
want
to
thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
mr.
chairman,
and
thank
you
councilman
Johnson
for
all
the
work
you've
done
on
this
and
I
guess.
My
questions
are
for
mr.
gray
and
and
Dwayne
Baum
and
basically
look
I.
Think
what
I'm
hearing
from
everyone
is
that
we
all
want
you
to
come
to
Philadelphia.
We
want
the
jobs,
we're
very
appreciative
of
it.
We
want
to
see
our
comedy
grow,
expand
our
tax
paying
base.
Everyone
wants
that
I.
Think
the
overriding
factor
is,
you
want
to
make
sure
proper
wages
are
being
paid
and
Philadelphians
have
an
opportunity
for
those
jobs.
B
My
question
is:
if
Muslim
have
been
answered,
but
my
one
question
I
had
for
you
that
you
may
or
may
not
know
is,
do
we
know
the
economic
job
multiplier
for
each
one
of
these
10,000
jobs,
knowing
the
technology
field,
the
economic
job
multiplier
is
five
to
one
very
tech
job
we
create.
We
create
five
other
jobs.
Do
we
have
any
of
that
information
of
these
10,000
jobs.
A
B
We've
talked
about
today,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
the
city
officials
accountable
for
everything
you've
been
telling
her
to
past
few
months.
We
all
know
that
it's
been
an
incredible
trying
time
for
our
city
and
we
thank
you
for
your
extraordinary
time
and
efforts
on
behalf
of
the
city.
A
Thank
You
mr.
spoil
and
mr.
gray
and
mr.
bum
for
your
testimony.
We
look
forward
to
the
file
of
information
that
was
requested
by
members
of
council
regarding
this
bill.
Number
two:
zero:
zero,
three,
four
seven
there
being
no
further
questions
for
members
of
the
committee
and
nor
the
witnesses
testify
I
will
ask
if
anyone
else,
president
hearing
one
final
time,
whose
name
Leah
fail
to
call
that
wish
to
offer
testimony
on
any
of
the
bills
being
considered
today.
A
Hearing
not
only
thank
all
the
panels
of
witnesses
for
their
participation.
We
value
your
opinions
and
I
now
buy
all
panels
and
witnesses
to
please
disconnect
from
the
meeting
before
we
go
into
our
public
meeting
without
pause.
A
few
moments
from
these
proceedings
briefly
to
allow
these
participants
to
leave.
Thank.
B
A
A
A
A
Would
now
like
to
convene
the
public
meeting?
Mr.
Iannuzzi,
will
you
please
call
the
roll
to
take
attendance
members
that
are
in
tennis?
Will
please
indicate
that
they
are
present
when
your
name
was
called
and
say
a
few
words
to
one
you're
responding,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
you
are
properly
recognized
and
we
can
hear
you
speak.
B
H
A
E
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
before
it
is
put
up
for
a
motion
for
approval
to
move
out
of
committee
where
to
stay
committee.
I
just
want
to
say
for
the
record
that
I
will
