We like to hear feedback. And some of the features. We also want to make sure they know what services will be located in the building that they can access. Because what we try to do is make sure we're designing and building whole communities and ensuring that we have a wide variety of service that is the community keeps and not just the residents. >> Alessandra: the county hopes to have shovels in the ground for the rose street affordable housing project by the fall and the hope is to have the project fully completed by 2027.
