Uh we were offered the property there. Uh it was an empty office building. Uh built as an office building with a parking lot and a sign. And so we refreshed the building, got it up to code, got it um um what's the uh what's the word? Got all the uh approvals done and applied for a business license to find out that the property was owned residential. And so that was to our surprise. And so all that to be said, uh we have staff and clients waiting uh to provide it's nonprofit um just to provide a service to the community uh Christian counseling, foster care, and adoption services. And so um would love to see if there was a way to expedite the reading uh so that we could begin providing services in that location. Thank you. Well, just so you know, I mean, it is the first of three and it's a special call. So, we'll have the second reading next week.
