Notable Quotes (2)
I had occasion to think about um our affordable housing programs in general and the second mortgage program that we've had to put on hold um and then to have this discussion today about this uh 5146 Eden Avenue Um I just want to make a note now because I'll forget maybe in the me in the future that I would like to see some of these proceeds uh put towards that program... one of the ways that we could meet that is by putting some of these funds towards a second mortgage program
the Lewis Park building does not have HVAC And I just you know talking about how funds could be spent we need to take care of our infrastructure and that park does serve um so many people including people who live in affordable housing... that is high on my list
