REGULAR MEETING JUNE 12, 2017 <br /> year from today, it will be a beacon. It will be bringing entrepreneurs, inventors, investors just <br /> transforming the way this giant building works. <br /> Kevin Smith, 635 South Lafayette Boulevard, thanked everyone for their support of the project. <br /> Mr. Smith stated, The good news is really that the hard, strenuous work is done. But with this <br /> fagade, it will help the community believe in itself again. It will help transform some of the most <br /> eroded portions of our community, and I'm expecting that we'll lift them up and provide the jobs <br /> that were lost. My personal goal is that I want to exceed the jobs that were lost at Studebaker and <br /> put us in a position to lead in the 21St Century. <br /> None from the public wished to speak in opposition to this bill. <br /> Councilmember Tim Scott made a motion to send Bill No. 32-17 to the full Council with a <br /> favorable recommendation.
