And we do have filming increasing in our city.

Of course, I'm concerned about the merger.

I think what a lot of people don't think about are all of the jobs that are associated either directly or indirectly with the industry and making sure that filming can be easier.

We have over 119 new projects that have started in L.A.

since the tax credits and these other initiatives have been put into place.

Sure.

Well, we certainly are anticipating reimbursement from the federal government.

You know, we got the consideration for a national security event very early on.

And so that unleashes a lot of support.

But what we're doing as a city, the game actually takes place in an adjacent city, Inglewood.

But we are preparing for

tens of thousands, if not more, of visitors traveling throughout our city.

And we're planning festivals and watch parties all throughout our city.

We anticipate having 100 different events.

And you know, the World Cup lasts over 30 days.

So we're really seeing it as an economic boom to our area.

Well, we'll continue to work together.

I'm in conversation regularly.

LA 28 is the independent nonprofit that is putting on the games.

It's located nearby City Hall.
