One of the first things we said is that we want to make an approach to businesses in our city, especially small businesses. And we have seen over the years how difficult it is sometimes to open a business, to go through that process with permits. And we want to completely change that culture and that interaction that businesses have with our city. The culture now in the city of Hialeah is that the city of Hialeah is an open business city. We want to work with you and our doors are more than open. That is why I launched the Palm Center program where we are letting businesses open their doors for a free year without rent in one of the buildings of the city of Hialeah. We are trying to increase the number of businesses in Hialeah, make it easier and to attract everyone to Hialeah because Hialeah is literally the city that is moving forward now with a new administration. We hope to be able to do many events of these over the next few months or this is like the kickoff. Thank you very much, have a good time and enjoy it.
