What was said

19:03 in the Heights and we're bringing a development agreement to city council for the second half of the site that's at the south east corner of Mill Plain and Divine. That's a project led by Related Northwest and the VHA. We also continue to negotiate with Palish on the home ownership sites that are basically where the Vanco driving range used to be east of Divine and we've kicked off reconstruct reconstruction of the Mill Plain MacArthur intersection. So that's in the northwest corner of the Heights site. That's the first infrastructure project to begin in the Heights and then we will expect to put out requests for bids for the Grand Loop which is the main internal infrastructure project for the Heights. We will put that out in the fall and we would expect to be under construction on the Grand Loop

20:02 in probably second quarter of '27 and that's fully funded. Our federal grant money came through for that and then we are also contemplating filling the funding gap for what's called Civic Plaza which is the main open space in the middle of the Heights and try to put that out for bid in early '27 so that we can hopefully sync up the development of that with the development of the Grand Loop which is circling around it. So we can't put it out together. They're kind of different funding sources but we wouldn't mind having construction happening together so that we can, they can go through all that once. So we're finally, the development projects may still need some additional funding to close gaps but we're pretty confident that we can move the infrastructure projects forward starting next year.

21:00 So that'll be a great milestone for us. Then another update, the subcommittee heard a little bit about this but we have an RFP out right now for a site that we purchased on Fourth Plain and Falk Road. It's a site that is right next to what's now, what used to be the Bi-Mart, the Bi-Mart has closed and we purchased an adjacent site, about a three-acre site
