    [00:00:38] Next is approval of the demolition agreement for Walgreens and Media General Buildings. [00:00:42] Mrs. Mams? [00:00:43] Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor. [00:00:44] As part of the economic development incentives that were provided to Kenan Development Company [00:00:51] in respect to the Rivergate project, they are entitled to some funding for us from the city, [00:01:05] pardon me, in respect to the demolition of buildings. [00:01:09] And in that respect, we are asking for $49,318.80 [00:01:18] to demolish the former Walgreens building, and $80,594.25 to raise the former Media General Building. [00:01:33] Both of those expenses will be credited towards the $2.1 million in financial incentives [00:01:40] that were provided to them in respect to the development project. [00:01:45] Very good. [00:01:45] Open it up for public comment. [00:01:46] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to the CRA. [00:01:52] Move for approval. [00:01:54] Second. [00:01:55] The maker? [00:01:56] No, it's part of the existing scheduled plan, which hopefully we can modify to see some [00:02:05] of that vision we saw earlier today. [00:02:06] But we're on track, and I'm happy to make the motion to approve.
