To my earlier question, have you engaged with the community outside of the community board and the people who have reached out to our office in the scent of your project?

Julie Won

Like, have you talked to Court Square Civic?

Have you talked to local PTAs?

To this point, it's been meetings with Land Use Committee at CB2, meetings with CB2, and a separate discussion with the neighbors from the surrounding building.

Okay, so the answer is no.

Richard Lobel

Yeah, no, we haven't engaged in any of those further conversations.
