Expand the construction and the number of not only affordable but accessible homes to be added to our housing stock.
And ensure that people with disabilities continue to be included in the decision-making process.

Thank you for your time.
I thank you, my sons thank you.
And we thank you for your commitment to building a more inclusive Charlotte.
Jamila Espinosa.
I don't know who's going.
My name is Satoshi Watanabe.
I'm a member of international cabinet and I'm currently leading its international business subcommittee.
I'm here today to express my strong support for a proposed international relations manager position included in the budget and also recommend additional investment for economic development.
Since last fall, our subcommittee has been developing a white paper on how to attract more foreign-owned businesses that will create more jobs and support long-term economic growth.
Through this work, we have found that the Shell has tremendous untapped potential.
Today, foreign-owned businesses account for only 3 to 4 percent of employment in the Shire region, compared to roughly 5 to 7 percent in peer markets such as Atlanta, Dallas, and Raleigh-Darling.
Closing even part of the gap could translate into tens of thousands of additional jobs over time.
Our research also shows that Shell already has many of the right ingredients for success, including competitive cost, strong infrastructure, high quality of life, leading financial services to have, and so on.
At the same time, our benchmarking suggests that peer cities are investing more aggressively in international business development.
In our white paper, we have identified a long list of opportunities and recommendations to attract more foreign-owned businesses.
Some focus on increasing Charlotte's attractiveness, and others focus on promoting Charlotte's attractiveness more effectively.
But those options cannot be fully realized without dedicated resources in financial investment.
