Economic Development Board - Regular Meeting

Meeting of the, Keller Economic Development Board, to order for 05/19/2025. And first item of business is, to vote on the approval of the minutes for the last meeting from April 21. Do I hear a motion? I'm not approved. Second. Second. Second. Motion and second. All in favor?

Aye. Aye.

Any opposed? Alright. That passes. And, we had a couple of people that did properties or did, cities. I'm working on properties. The house. I'm sorry.

Sorry. Is this at home? Yes. Is it open to

the public? Yes. Okay.

Can we

just sit on this one?

You can. So who took which city? I took Carmel, Indiana. Terrific.

So I have nothing to report yet. So I think Okay. They were not as eager as I was,

so I'll keep keep on that.

So Yeah. I took Newton Mass. Kind of similar story. I reached out, and the mayor, I go off this auto response. Like, hey. I have a lot going on. Just standby. We'll get back to you kind of deal. But I was asking for a point of contact to set up a call week or something.

Okay. Did you look at anything online?

Yes. I did. Okay.

So I did some side research on that. I have results on my phone, but maybe I can email it when we are done. Can you give us give us

highlights of anything you found out? Yeah. I was focused on

really the some of the trends, why they are doing well economically and some of the trends around that. And one of that, which I thought was surprising given that this is not too far from Boston, one one of that was residential development. Mhmm. They seem to have quite a bit of that going on. But then counter to that, they don't seem to be being that well attracting commercial development to the area.

So it was kind of a residential development is pushing out really well, not as much commercial. So the thinking was that they could be doing a whole lot better. We had to get more commercial in as well. And on residential side, it's a lot of mixed use type of facilities that they have. One thing that they have going for them is really they have a stable employment profile, plus there are some of the newer industries. Everybody's talking about AI. So they have AI. They have some renewable energy, you know, battery type companies coming into the area. And so we are seeing growth in some of these newer industries. That's really helping.

But they have a kind of a stable core of employment that's been steady for a while. And then one thing I thought was interesting, which might be something for us to consider, is the there are many academic institutions around there. Some are similar to us, maybe not as many. But they've been successful in getting some of those institutions to have what it is outlets or outpost or different types of activities within Newton, which has been helpful. So if people go in there for different types of services, some of the tutors and professionals at business stations, they end up staying locally.

So they bring all of that tax base in as well. So just a few highlights of I've seen so far.

It I've been to actually, I've been to Newton, Mass, and I was there to meet with a company that provided CAD type software to a company I was doing a turnaround on. It it seemed at that point, this has been a number of years ago, that it was geared real more really more toward industrial type of commercial. There wasn't wasn't a lot to do there, I guess, if I was a resident, you know, looking for, you know, some kind of family entertainment, something to do. Did you find anything along those lines of entertainment, dining that

No. Not not as much. But it's from looking at what I I went to the economic development web page, it's something they are talking about. Kinda looking for ways to

Attract that. Move those type of

Yep. Things there. Yeah.

Okay. So they kinda got the the opposite problem we have. We we need that daytime population, and they seem to have quite a bit of daytime population. And but not not the, not the things that that provide dining and and, other businesses that feed off of that, especially restaurants. Yeah.

And there seems to be some looking at the community forum, they seem to be quite strict on zoning. So they are not as it's not as easy to get for instance, if you want to get different types of use approvals, it seems to be really tough to get that. Interesting. So that's one thing people on the forums were complaining about. Do they

have third shift type work there in that area?

I I didn't have I mean, the company I was dealing wasn't.

Yeah. I mean, they have some medical type issues issue might be.

But not industrial type.

I I didn't see so much of that. Yeah. Yeah.

Then the company I was dealing with obviously didn't. They were, you know, software development and support.

A good chunk of the jobs there related to health care slash social. They're kinda in the same category.

Great. Anything else?

Let's see. I think that's that's that's about it. Again, there are some new things, Rick. If if those things go well, so AI, climate tech, and some newer biotech and genetic engineering type, they're really making a big push in those three areas. If that pans out, they could I can see them pulling some of those biotech type companies from Cambridge and Boston core Right. Out to those areas. Right.

Yeah. Well, great. Well, when you do hear back from them, please update us and and send that stuff to Anna so that we can kinda Okay. Accumulate it and and redistribute it. Anything on on yours that you found Yeah. Online?

Actually, for my son. Because when they a couple years ago when Keller went to the big band competition in Indianapolis, you know, Carmel was one of the, you know, big schools. And so, like, I got to look at them, and they're very family oriented. There's a lot of overlap with Keller. And there's very strong marching band program and other things that made it very similar to Keller.

One of the big differences though is because they're a suburb of Indianapolis and the way that the highway system, they do have a major artery that's that's going, you know, right near there. So that gives them some different opportunities for their commercial sector and hotels and just as suburban sprawl goes. But in terms of demographics, they're very close to us. They have some diversity too because they can pull across the whole Indianapolis Metroplex. So you get a variety of upper middle class jobs kinda like Keller has a variety of upper middle class jobs.

So I think there's a lot of things we could look at that are similar. I'm sure they probably also struggle with land use and, you know, that mix of light commercial to industrial kind of the same way that we do. They probably also struggle with that family friendly blend. So I'm looking forward to talking with them. I reached out to to your counterpart at Carmel, but haven't got a chance to connect yet. So

Did you, either of you see any updates on, demographic type information, household income, you know, average house price, that type of thing?

Yeah. I have that through a website. It was, like, one of those city comparison websites.

It did

a good summary. I tried a couple different AI tools to just sort of see, yeah, we can pull some of that together for

next time. I just wondered if you had seen any of that. Did did you see some on on Not house price, but demographics,

median income, those type of things. Yeah.

How was there a median income? Do you remember?

Not off the top of my head, but I can I can make a little search because I have that on my head? It's I'd say it's comparable to ours in the same

within That was the that was the objective and goal. So those are one of the the factors that that we looked at, but I just wondered if it had updated because this has been a while since I pulled this if if there had been any major change in it or adjustment. And so

Wouldn't you wanna look at medium income versus taxes tax base as well?

Any of that information is is gonna be, I think, helpful for us to to kinda zero in on what what makes things work because that's that's what I'm looking for or what I was looking for. Anna has taken off with this, so she she has some other input for it. But I think

Yeah. I know. I'm I would love to find really good contacts contacts there. So, obviously, the information and the data is really important, but really finding counterparts or, you know, city officials, people that we can when we're trying to make decisions or need just, like, you know, to brainstorm with someone, finding, like, really good key players in those cities would be really ideal.

And if you have my email, you need somebody to reach out to, you know, mayor city council level, just shoot me a quick text or email and say, hey, talked with this person, but, you know, I find that it kind of greases the skids if you can talk to somebody at that level and say, hey, we're really wanting to share information with your team. Reach out to me because I'll be happy to do that and make a quick call during the day. I could even do that from the the truck or or, wherever I'm at and, make some use of drive time, which seems to be a lot lately. Okay.

What else? Hey, dad.

Yes, sir.

Hey. Hey. One the things, for me is I've been traveling a lot lately and looking at sites for our company to open up. I've been doing research in different cities, Lincoln Park, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Arnold, Michigan. And one of the things that I when we look at our site evaluations that we might wanna talk to sister cities about is what is the minimum wage for the county?

But then also, we have to ask the businesses in the county, what do they actually pay? Because just because it says minimum wage is only 10 twice. Like, yours goes south of Curb Mirror. Minimum wage in Texas is, what, $7.50, but nobody starts there until 10 or $11. So that's gonna put an impact on whatever business they're looking at.

You know, California, everyone's already maxed out. The city of Denver, everybody's at $17.90 an hour right now. This is a starting minimum pay. So as I do my research in some of the other cities, just because the the state or county minimum wage is a certain number does not mean that that's what people are paying to be competitive. So the competitive price was really gonna drive business up or down also.

So so Denver was at close to 18. What what was the other cities that you said that were, like, at 11?

Like, I mean, Illinois, the taxes is $7.50, but they pay $10.11 dollars an hour just

to try to keep up. Yeah. Market determines that. Yeah. Post COVID, we saw a lot of that. Mhmm. Post COVID.

But you have a lot of cities throughout The United States that have adopted LA County is already at, like, $19 an hour for just regular starting minimum wage jobs. So you have a lot of cities that have been undue pressure on businesses by raising the minimum wage price. A lot of this a lot of small family businesses in the city of Denver are not coming in anymore because they can't be competitive at $18 an hour.

Interesting. Yeah. I think that's something we can add into the the mix and and and ask those questions as well what they're finding out. That's something that maybe chambers might have a better handle on than than cities. But, yeah, we can add add that to the questions. Mhmm. Anything else?

Right. So, yeah, so Newton, about same median age as Keller. Keller is 40. Newton is about is 41. As far as median family income, they are at $1.50. We are at $1.72. So but their population is almost twice ours.

Yeah. There's and, again, you roll back again to the the tax advantages. They have a state tax there that's higher than ours.

They have

an income tax. I'm not mistaken. State income tax

as well thousand.

Which we don't have here. So there's, I mean, that's always one of those advantages you have to plug in that that we can offer that a lot of other places don't. Mhmm. Just ask me to go rank and then

What's our current median age? 40?

41. 41. 41 artists. And it but it's it's creeping up real quick. Mhmm. It really is. Our our population in the city is growing older a lot faster.

What's what's the age of the average person having children? These days, like, thirties? Is it thirties? Is that average? And later. Yeah.

32 to 36 since the last time I looked, and that was years

ago. Yeah. Just because from the perspective of like being Texas' family friendly, most most family friendly. I heard the signs that's out there. Based on feedback that I have actually seen for from like the younger demographic with like the younger parents and that kind of thing that are moving into the area that can afford the houses. There's not a lot to do. Like, they're still young, and that's, like, a lot of the feedback of what they're hoping to see in Old Town. It's, like, just places that they can just kind of, like hang out and be able to have like a hub and place to meet new people, especially if you're if you are a transplant coming into the area and your family, you're already kind of isolated. Mhmm. And so I think community events, parks, and rec.

There's there is I did like preliminary search, so I didn't I didn't grab a town, but I did just, like, an overall search to see what what was out there. And Woodstock, Georgia was an interesting one. It is in that demographic of, like, 36 to 40. The the median household income is a little lower, but as far as, like, what they did in terms of, like, businesses and there's, like, a lot of, like, entrepreneurial, like, hubs, coworking spaces to create more of that, like, day traffic. Because that's the other thing I'm also seeing in small businesses where they can't necessarily afford to do a brick and mortar by themselves.

So you're seeing a lot of these, like, hubs that are kind of, like, grouping up and creating these, like, cohorts in these business spaces that can be, you know, used for multiple things. And so that to me, I think, creates a lot of opportunity for walkability and like that daytime traffic instead of thinking of just like we need a big corporation or tech hub, creating more innovative kind of entrepreneurial type spaces. Mhmm. Because I feel like too, like entrepreneurial entrepreneurs are also like wanting to embed in the community. And I think if we create some kind of opportunity there, you're there's like a lot more engagement interaction that happens in that daytime potential.

Are talking about we are you talking about WeWork, stuff like that?

No. There's even smaller there's even smaller innovative hubs, but they there was there was a couple that they listed that they have in Georgia, but they partnered let me see the names.

Woodstock is, like, 30 miles north of Atlanta.

Of Atlanta? Yeah. Actually, exactly that. That was pretty good. Have you been there?

Well, I worked in Atlanta for three years.

Nice.

Yeah. It's it's 30 miles outside of Atlanta. Emphasize development that maintains community character while accommodating economic expansion. They also have a historic area that they preserved in their expansion, which created like a very, like, kind of eclectic kind of mix of old and new. So, yeah, I just thought it was that was an interesting one. Wasn't on the list, but it has some other, like

Well yeah. Because I 575 runs through it, and that was one of the factors to kick them out because we don't have a freeway.

Because we don't have a freeway. Yeah. Okay.

But, no, the data is still great because there are 35,000. I mean, that's, you know, roughly the size of of Colleyville and Southlake. So it's not bad data. My project was just trying to really fine tune it to the things that are obstacles for us to attract some things is that we don't have a freeway and that traffic creates, a lot of things. I was I just pulled them up on Google Earth to see what happened to be a long five seventy five

Mhmm.

And there's not a lot.

Woodstock was a lot like Keller was forty years ago.

Oh, okay.

Almost exactly the same way. Yeah. I only know my my my general manager lived in Woodstock and commuted in to to Atlanta. And so we I went out to his place a number of times, and and they were very much the same.

Yeah.

Very much the same.

So are you looking for a place that maybe has, like, a little bit bigger of a population, like, because we are going towards growth?

Or Well, that was the the lower end of it is 35,000 is where I cut off in, you know, what I was analyzing, but then we kicked them out, and that's with certain factors. If if they had if they had a freeway going through there, which is one of the obstacles we have from, a Grapevine or Southlake in competing for economic development type things. And that's why I was look looking it up while you were talking about it to see what they actually had along those freeways. There's not a lot. There's a Lowe's.

They have kind of one little strip center that that has a shopping center, has a Starbucks, has Monterey Mexican restaurant. But they have a lot of residential that just backs up to the freeway. Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, more like zero lot line type of of things. I think I could

find why they haven't been able to or why they don't have commercial.

Yeah. Along the along those because they have another highway that goes east and West 92. That that's where the the Home Depot and and Lowe's kinda go opposite of that, but right on 575. And then the Walmart's obviously on that highway.

Well, they may have done actively restrictive growth. You know?

Yeah. It'd be interesting to find out. Yeah. But that's why they weren't on the list is just because they they had an advantage over us because of a freeway.

So my second one so I didn't look at the freeway side. I didn't pull up a bag. But Salina Mhmm. Was another one. Salina

In Kansas. Or Texas? Okay.

I don't know I don't know if this is be wise for that. I know there's always I actually have really

a pretty great relationship with

Nancy. Yeah.

As far as Yeah.

A lot of their other demographics are very similar. Mhmm. As far as, like, the median household income, age, their growth,

they're experiencing rapid growth. Yeah. They're actually gonna grow to be bigger than Frisco.

Oh, wow. Yeah. Oh, dang. It's essential. Essential.

Weren't they on the list of most expanding

Yeah. Fastest growing.

Fastest growing. Plus, like, five to 10 in the last, like, couple of months.

Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. They're only on all those lists.

All that area around there is. Yeah. They're

up for us.

Variable. Little Elm and

But they have a lot

of really good system system.

It would be good for us to

kinda Yeah. Have. I think I was, like, more something from the economic standpoint of just, like, the growth and if, like, for us to see more growth on the economic side of things. And they have great team there. Yeah. Thanks

for looking at help. My

pleasure.

And at $4,043,000, they don't have a freeway. I mean, they're up north of, Frisco, Prosper area.

Another one I liked was Lenexa, Kansas. K. Yeah. They they they also have a freeway, but their their demographics and I just know from friends that have lived there and stuff that's appeals to the same sort of folks that wanna live

in Keller.

Okay. So maybe look into that one. Yeah. I put a star next to the one with a b.

Northwest, you can't see.

Yeah. Might be South. Southwestern? Yeah.

It was one of that was one of the places I wanted to live in, like, deep back in the eighties when Oh, yeah. Living there. Yeah. That's told me I had to live in Kansas City.

That's good. That's

one of

the ones that I did

research on. They told me I had to live in Kansas City, Missouri proper. So my my wife.

Oh, okay.

Yeah. Missouri.

I see someone grab it, so then I stopped. Well, I like,

I'm Lenexa has, you know, I 35. They have

a full restaurant, so I had to live in Kansas City, Missouri. Yeah. They

didn't make it just because of I 35 and 435. Crossroads. Actually connect right through there and Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're next to Overland Park, which I have friends live there.

Yeah. Well, they've got some definite advantages as far as people flow. Yeah. I think we somebody's got Franklin, Tennessee too.

We have Brentwood.

Brentwood. Okay.

We have

put Franklin on there.

Because that's a little bit more upscale. Right?

I'm not

a big

I'm not an

Yeah. A lot of, like

So I am that's almost like Highland Park is in Dallas.

Almost. A lot of

A of slips.

Yeah. Yeah.

Pleasanton, I didn't think that was a good one when I started going out. Pleasanton? Yeah. What state? California.

California. Suburb of San Francisco.

Yeah. City? Pleasanton. Pleasanton.

It had a lot of they did a lot in their downtown area that I felt, like, wasn't comparable, like, terms of, like, big they had a lot of big business parks. Oh.

That's it. Thanks,

y'all. What else?

Do want me to move into the ED update?

That would be great. Okay. Great.

I actually printed copies so you can follow-up with

your phone. Thank you. Mhmm.

You'll see at the top, I have updated q one stats. I just these types of stats I think are really important for us to kinda keep track of and compare throughout the year. So I wanna make sure you guys have those. So they can see rates for retail and office, and then the average lease sales rates for retail and office as well. And this is specifically for Keller.

What was the average we probably don't have that data, but before 2020. It's like there was there, like, a big spike that happened after?

There tried to be.

Yeah. Like, the price per square?

Mhmm.

What was the average price per square for commercial? I can look it up. These these just blew me away when I first initially. It's partially why I bought a building. But because in Connecticut, which is like very overpriced, I was really surprised because I was actually paying less in some areas with our price per square foot. Mhmm. And so I was just curious like if it was just something that spiked after or it's always been high. Yeah. Let me

see if I can find it.

Yeah. And that would be interesting to compare. Yeah. So much has changed. Definitely. Okay. Great. And so for April, we

had seven new businesses at 8705 Davis Boulevard. We had two different businesses, IT Custom Solutions Inc and GOVE Investments LLC, also in Davis Boulevard at 8739. Healer Health Keller opened up. Then we had three businesses that opened up at 2000 Whitley Road in three different suites. Founded electronics, First Post Fencing, and that guy industrial solutions and repair.

And last but not least, at 620 Glen Drive, we had Century 21 Middleton. So for COs, we're up to 48 through April with 23 of those being businesses. Stretchstone applied for a building permit. I'm trying to jump to the highlights. Stretchstone at 242 Roof Snow applied for a building permit.

As far as incentivize projects, the only update I have for y'all is that Tejin is slated to open in July. So that's the latest. It's really exciting. For recruitment and activity trends, we've had some interest in the former PEDCO that's right over there next to the as well as the former Genie Rocket. So, hopefully, those will amount to something soon.

So I'll keep y'all posted. Then jumping to the next page, other economic development updates. We are sad, but happy to report that our intern, Ethan Flanders, is moving into a planner one position. So he's joining that team, and he's gonna do a great job. So we're really excited for him, but we are actively recruiting for this position.

So if you know anyone, ideally, we'd love to have a long term intern, not necessarily, you know, like a summer type thing. I would really love to have somebody that can really become a part of the team in the year a little bit longer than, you know, just the summer. So please send anybody my way. Also, really exciting. We completed our small business week and it was a great success.

You know, that's our annual scavenger hunt. We had 38 businesses that participated, and I wanted to make sure and list them here for you so that if you know them, if you frequent them, we'd love for you to thank them. And then also if you could ask them for some feedback, we'd love feedback. As well as if you have any friends or family that had teams with six sixteen active teams. And between all of them, they spent about $700 completing the different missions.

So that was exciting. Those are, you know, local dollars going from our scavenger hunt. So seriously, if you have feedback, if you could ask them what went well, what they enjoyed, what's something that maybe we could do differently next year, we would love to hear that. We did send everybody a survey on both ends, so we should hear from them as well. But we'd love to hear how to keep it up for next year or improve on it.

And then I listed a a testimonial from Pandemonium Music because that's just exciting. We saw really good foot traffic during that week, so we were excited for that. And then the next page, some upcoming events that I wanna make sure that y'all know that we are gonna be a part of or attending. So, obviously, June 16 KAB meeting. Make sure to put on your calendar. I'll be reaching out for RSVPs for that. And then I will be attending the Urban Land Institute event. I went to this last year. It's the what's new, what's next, an annual signature event. All of these events, by the way, are local.

So if you're interested in attending any of these, just let me know. Some of the topics discussed at the UI event, data centers, that's, you know, something that's really hot right now, attracting a lot of attention. Public private partnerships role in land development, can education and health care, safe office, and different implementation approaches to mixed use districts. So what I'm looking at when I go to these types of events is education, of course, new ideas, lots of prospects, and lots of networking. So that's the the idea behind going to these.

Biz Now, DFW Retail, and Mixed Youth Summit, I'll be attending that on June 12. And I've been to a lot of business now events, same goal, learning, prospects, networking, and that's in Dallas. And then Melanie and I will be attending the Texas Economic Development Council mid year conference in Rockwall coming up, that will be a lot of learning for us. Do y'all have any questions

for me?

Where's the ULI gonna be holding?

I wanna say that one is either Arlington or Dallas. But I can find out if you wanna go.

Yeah. If we were to go, would there be a cost incurred?

Mhmm. Okay.

Yeah. I can find out.

I don't remember what what it'd for. I'll let you know. Sweet.

The city would cover that if you're interested.

Yes. That's what I meant. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Definitely be interested if if I can make the June 5 one, especially learning more about the data centers and the Yeah. The land use. Mhmm.

Yeah. I will let you know tomorrow.

That's great

that they're local.

Mhmm. Yeah.

Yeah. The.

Sorry. I was just on the the site of interest. Mhmm. Toka. It was Blue Sky, then it was Toca, and then they they sold again.

Let's see. I wanna say this was maybe before I was here. I need

to look into that. Property sting. Yeah.

Tell you who they sold it to. It's a soccer company that they were doing slick soccer, and then they invested reached expanded their portfolio until they bought the the TOCA property.

Staying?

Yeah. Staying. Yes.

So it's gonna switch again?

Like, I think it's still the

same purpose.

So are

they gonna say TOCA? Right? Yeah. Oh, okay. So just different cars?

Just different homes. Okay.

The sports parks look great.

Coming along really nicely.

Yeah. They look very good.

Yeah. What's their end date? Exportation date?

So the sports park, the city part of it, we're hoping will be early two thousand twenty six. K. The City Sports Complex is slated for '26, but they think they're gonna be earlier than that. So we're hoping for a late spring is be optimistic. So somewhere in between spring to fall.

K. Yeah.

That would be awesome if they lined up like that. Yeah. That's a lot of work between now and then.

Say a lot of work. So we're still we're still waiting for final plans. So but I got a got a note from you an email from the other day saying it it's coming shortly.

No. It looks

like they're they're pushing really quickly.

So

The the city side is definitely is. Yeah. So, we're we're getting there. Time I'm out there with the kid, I'm like, yo. This is this

is looking nice. Every Sam's run I make, I go that back way and splash pads come along. All that all that work is looking good.

Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be a big big investment. It's gonna be really great.

For Bate Street, the orange, like, thing that's separating everything, is that gonna be sidewalk? Is that what they're doing on Bate Street? Where it's separated in, an orange

On L And Elm? Or

I'm sorry. Yes. I'm sorry.

What are we doing on Bates Street? Elm.

I should know what happened. That's about it. What happened? So they they blocked off there's, like, an orange, like, makeshift well, I don't know, divider.

Yeah.

So is that all gonna be parking and sidewalk? Or is that just

On one yeah.

Love that.

There's there's gonna be parallel parking and then sidewalk and and landscape. And did you not get a picture of all this stuff? We need to get you that.

Yeah. I I seen on the board. There's, like, a there's, like, a sign out there on the yeah. We've got we've

got renderings that I can send you.

Okay. So we're all

the way down to 170 nine. Okay.

1709 to to Bear Creek.

And they're do the And there'll

be a bridge?

I saw that. Yeah. I did see that. Okay. I think I saw pieces of it. I think when you physically see it and then you see, like I was just like, is it going that far? Mhmm. So that's why I didn't Yeah. All the way.

Yeah.

Okay. Cool.

Yeah. It's gonna go pretty wide. It's gonna completely redo that street, make it look gorgeous, make it walkable.

Yeah. Definitely. So That's a, yeah, huge change.

And that's more Don't scare

us with the stuff going on on Fate Street.

Alright. I was gonna say that.

Was like, do we have water?

Was already.

I I need to make some calls here.

No. Bates looks great. It's beautiful. We actually you should visit the little park there with the little we go walk over there and have lunch all the time. It's a really cool little spot there.

Yep. And that's the general idea.

Yep. That's great.

Pretty soon, you'll be able get some some pizza and Yeah. Beer and walk that over there as well.

And walk

over there. Looking forward to that. And

the breakfast joint that used to be snoopy pig has been open now. That Mhmm. Month?

I no.

Not yet. Probably just next weekend.

Yeah. We're gonna try it.

And then on Houghton Horns, know you have that on there. Just wanted to let you all know that we did actually pay their incentive last AP run. So they can pay their one thirty for the improvements.

We have some concerts coming?

Hopefully soon. I think they're still doing a little bit of finish out, but Yeah. They met their qualifications for the the incentive grant.

Good. Sweet. I think I've seen something they mentioned, like, in the fall. Yeah. I think it was fall with the Yeah.

I think they're already starting to host, like, little recitals and things like that.

Yeah. Concerts will be in the fall. Cool.

What else?

That's all I have.

Kingsley and Nate, good job. Rest of you, slacker. Here we go.

I had preliminary notes for the wrong nouns. It's something. Just the wrong nouns. Alright.

Well, if that's it then motion to adjourn. Motion adjourn. Second. Second. We're adjourned.
