That's part of the purpose of it.
The question is always from our perspective, are we making sure that the people who are already there can get a piece of that value
rising tide?
Can they access those opportunities?
Which is why, you know, in terms of employment at the Presidential Center, one of our biggest priorities was making sure that folks were able to not just apply for jobs, but actually get jobs and get trained for jobs.
The young people who are living in those communities, are they going to be able to get internships and fellowships?
And we're exposing them to the work that's being done and what opportunities they have as a consequence.
The vendors, the cleaning crews, the contractors.
all those folks we've been very systematic about working with community groups in those communities and saying to them, this is yours, not just ours, and we want you to be a part of this.
And I think there will, over time, be the kind of
community improvement that is not just bringing in people from the outside, but also lifting up folks from the inside.
That's our hope.

No matter how pretty it is, is she getting a break?
Yes.
