ALBANY. WELL. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER COME BEFORE YOU WITH 100% OF THE SCORECARD, BUT GOOD WORK . ACH WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A BUILDING THAT'S ALREADY BUILT. BUT THIS THIS BUILDING THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED IN RECENT YEARS AND . WAS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT TO BE GOING TO BE LEASED OUT FOR HUMAN MEDICAL OFFICE PURPOSES, LARGELY , BUT WE HAVE A END USER THAT WE'RE BOUND BY CONFIDENTIALITY. I CAN'T SAY WHO IT IS, BUT IT'S A RECOGNIZABLE COMPANY. THERE YOU KNOW IS VERY WELL ESTABLISHED AND WELL KNOWN, BUT THEY INTEND TO BRING A STATE OF THE ART ANIMAL HOSPITAL HERE WITH SURGERY AND R AND D COMPONENTS AND THAT WE'RE TOLD, ALTHOUGH I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS, I HOPE TO HAVE THEM FOR YOU TODAY, BUT THIS WILL GENERATE QUITE A BIT OF PAYROLL. IT WAS, THESE WILL BE SOME REALLY GOOD GOOD JOBS AND A GOOD NUMBER OF THEM, BUT REALLY IS. CHELSEA MENTIONED NO EXTERIOR REVISIONS HERE. UM, THE BUILDING IS BRAND NEW AND IT TURNS OUT IT'S A SHELL SO WHEN THIS OPPORTUNITY AROSE, THERE'S REALLY PERFECT TIMING AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY AND BE ANOTHER THING THAT SORT OF PUTS INTO ALBANY ON THE MAP IN TERMS OF UNIQUE AND RECOGNIZABLE USES , SO THAT BEING SAID HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, ERIN HAVE ONE SURE AS THE PROPERTY TRANSFERRED YET OR WILL IT REMAIN OWNED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER? IT WILL. THERE'S A CONTINGENT CONTRACT, IT WILL BE SOLD TO THE END USER. UM CONTINGENT UPON AMAZONIAN GETTING APPROVED. THANK YOU. OKAY? THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ANY MEDICAL FACILITY. I SUPPOSE. 
          PERHAPS THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VETERINARY FACILITIES AND HUMAN MEDICAL FACILITIES HANDLE MEDICAL WASTE, AND WE'RE DISPOSAL OF ANIMALS DON'T SURVIVE. CAN YOU ADDRESS HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE HANDLED ON THIS SITE? WE'RE OFF THIS SITE. I MEAN, I AM I CAN'T REALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION AND ITS TOTALITY. UM I WOULD SAY THAT, UM TO MY KNOWLEDGE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY ANY CREMATION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT GOING ON IN THE BUILDING. IT'S NOT REALLY SET UP FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO I'M CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF OFF SITE, BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW. UM, WHERE POWER OKAY? AT THIS STAGE IS THE APPLICANT REQUIRED TO TELL US WHERE DUMPSTERS AND THAT SORT OF THING WOULD BE LOCATED ON THE SITE. THE SITE PLAN IS NOT CHANGING SO NO STAFF COULD ONLY ASSUME THAT THE EXISTING DUMPSTERS WOULD BE WHAT THEY'RE USING, AND THE APPLICANT CAN CONFIRM. THAT'S CORRECT, OK? THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION. BEING THE SIZE OF EVERYTHING THERE. WERE THEY PLANNING ON BEING A 24 HOUR OPERATION FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR YOUR PETS? YEAH I DON'T BELIEVE SO. I THERE WILL BE SOME OVERNIGHT STAYS FOR PETS. UM THAT HAS HAD SURGERY. BUT IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE A BOARDING FACILITY. BUT IT WOULDN'T BE OPEN FOR THE PUBLIC TO WALK IN AND EMERGENCY BASIS OVERNIGHT. I WAS JUST WONDERING BECAUSE I HAD TO MAKE A TRIP ONE SIDE ONE TIME TO THE OTHER SIDE OF COLUMBUS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IS WHERE MY DAUGHTER HAD A SICK CAT.
