Thomas-Henry on World Cup fan fests and Willets Point housing

And World Cup, how were the FanFest activities and locations determined?

So we worked closely with the World Cup czar and City Hall through the World Cup czar to determine those.

I think it was sort of maximum benefit.

Also, you know, cost was a consideration.

But we are also having some activities on our own sites, and those are the public markets as well as our largest campuses.

So we'll be having watch parties and fan fests and cultural and community programs.

Housing.

So we know housing is a priority across the board.

We had a wonderful tour of the brand new Willits Point today.

And so on 20 acres, we were able to plan out for 2,500 units of affordable housing, a school, a soccer stadium, the like.

There are an additional 40 acres on that site.

Yes.

What do you think it would take to get the city to take a closer look at that immediately for future development?

Yeah, thank you for that.

We're really excited about everything that's going on in Willens Point related to the housing, 2,400 units, the soccer stadium, the school, the public realm, et cetera.

So,

Phase three has not been budgeted for, as you know, or contemplated.

There are a bunch, there's a lot of private owners on that site.

So we would have to figure that out, but we're happy to open that discussion with you.

It's a sort of a long term, as you know, phase one, phase two was for, it took decades.

So we're, oof.

Phase three will not take that long.

Okay.

Yeah, we're happy to, I mean, it's a phenomenal project, phenomenal development.

We're happy to have more continued conversations for phase three.

And Chair, if I may have one more question.
