“Thank you so much, Mayor. Evan, I am looking forward to the studies and that you guys can be doing the research and having a really fruitful conversation when the time comes.

And not to get into the weeds or the details yet, but I'm just curious. FedAway does have one smaller data center, is that correct? That may be classified as old or out of use?”

“Thank you so much. Well, welcome back, everybody. I feel like it's been years since, never mind. It's only been a few weeks. I know you guys miss me. But it's good to be back, and it's good to hear the public comments as well. And before I go any further for personal privilege, I'm sad, Mayor.
