So we're trying to increase 165 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: the summer youth employment this summer and get more kids 166 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: involved in these kind of training programs specifically targeted again 167 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: out of kids who more than likely may not finish 168 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: high school in a traditional way, trying to grab them 169 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: before they decide that they want to make crime a career, 170 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: because that's what a career criminal means. You're making crime 171 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: a career, that we have to give you another career 172 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: besides crime. And uh so we we're we're looking for money. 173 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: The financial institutions have been involved, the banks have been involved, 174 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: uh to other you know, nonprofits and all of the 175 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: philanthropic organizations have been involved. Trying to raise the revenue. 176 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: We need to put these kids to work in the 177 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: summertime and get them to kind of work for us 178 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: training that they need. Performing Arts school. Yeah, I went 179 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: to Arts High School. Yep, right there on Martin Luther 180 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: King Downtown Nook or you know, Like, like I said, 181 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: a lot of us came, but what made you decide 182 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: to go? Now? Actually like it, it was just a 183 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: blessing that I ended up there because I actually was 184 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: going to go to week Back then, we had science, 185 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: how we had university, how we had Arts High and 186 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: I was more into science, you know. I mean I 187 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: was always acting in schools that I was in, but 188 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: I figured that I wanted to be a science scientist. 189 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: So I tried to get into science and university. Things 190 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: was wrong with my application, like where I was living 191 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: and all types of craziness, and I ended up going 192 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: in the arts and it was like, you know, I 193 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: got accepted right away and then I got there and 194 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: I just ended up so involved in what it was 195 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: I was doing and being a drama major that everything 196 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: just kind of took off from this. So when you think, 197 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: because you know, you from New York, like when when 198 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: did it go up? Because I remember when I was young, 199 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: we used to go walk around downtown New York, you know, 200 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: coming from South Carolina, and the one somebody was like, no, 201 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: we can't go to New York no more. Yeah, um, 202 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: well it was I say it was after the ninety 203 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: eight was like remember ninety eight, that was pretty good 204 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: year for all of us. You know what I'm saying. 205 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: It kind of blew up. So I say somewhere around 206 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: two thousand, maybe you know, people started having I don't know, 207 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: less care or less respect about whatever was going on. 208 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: But then there's that disparity between having a father figure 209 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: or role models or mentors, you know, male mentors. And 210 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: so once that, once that happened, where like we used 211 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: to listen to our old heads, you know what I'm saying. Like, 212 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: but once that that age group of kids came up 213 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: past ten to about twelve, and they wasn't listening to 214 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: us anymore, or we wasn't talking to him anymore. How 215 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: it went, That's when everything kind of went, you know, left. 216 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: So I say, somewhere between two thousand two thousand and five, 217 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: stuff started getting like kind of rough. But it's a cycle, 218 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You learn, you know, they learned, 219 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: they grow up because now they're grown up and they 220 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: in a position where they got to try to force 221 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: the little heads to listen to them. So, you know, 222 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: you guys have had a lot of events there recently, 223 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: Black Girls Rock was there last week, Will Smith, Jada, 224 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: that's beautiful, Jill, everybody was out there this Yeah, it was. 225 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: It was incredible too. Now, No, Newark also has a 226 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: lot of prim real estates right by the by the water. Now, 227 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: are you scared of losing that to to big investors 228 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: and people are not necessarily from the community, No, not 229 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: at all. I mean, first of all, Newark is not 230 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: like these other cities where it is really the population 231 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: is so condensed and heavy that you have to put 232 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: people out in order for other people to come in. 233 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: So we can stand another one hundred two hundred thousand 234 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: residents in the comfortably uh you know, New York. At 235 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: one point, I had almost a half a million people 236 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: in it, you know, right now, and we're about three 237 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: hundred thousand. So we have opportunity for more business, more investment. 238 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: We're trying to bring more manufacturers, big box industries to 239 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: the city of New York. We are a prim location 240 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: for manufacturing. You know, we have the third largest seaport 241 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: in the nation. There mostly all the goods and services 242 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: that come through this trosted area come through the New 243 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: York Seaport. We have an international airport. The transportation in 244 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: the city is you know, next to none. So the 245 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: kind of manufacturing we're trying to uh, you know, create 246 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: in the city is where is the type that has 247 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: the trucking, that puts out people to work, that uses 248 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: the seaport, uses the transportation, uses the airport, and we 249 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: want them to come. So and they are coming almost 250 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: twenty dollars pew, they got shot. Well, you know, people 251 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: start leaving, you know, people people leave the city. You know, 252 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: there was a trend where people began leaving cities right 253 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: so after the New York Rebellion in sixty seven, and 254 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: many people started moving to the suburbs. Now there's trending 255 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: in the the way all over the country. Everybody wants 256 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: to live in a city. The millennials, they want to 257 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: have conveniance. They want to live next to the train station, 258 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: they want to walk, you know, they want to have 259 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: all of the amenities around their house where they don't 260 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: have to get public catch the train all the time, 261 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: or drive, you know. So they're coming back to these cities. 262 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: And so New York is a part of that. And 263 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: New York is expensive, for Bogan is expensive. These city 264 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: is expensive. So people are looking for opportunities to have 265 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 1: decent housing in safe environments where the amenities are right there. 266 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking at I'm looking at downtown Nook crazy because, 267 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: like I mean, I've seen it change a whole bunch 268 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: of different ways. But what it's turning into right now, 269 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: as far as it's having a Prudential Center down there 270 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: and and Jay Pack down there, and then all these 271 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: people will be coming through for these hockey games, and 272 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: I mean they don't just go there for the game, 273 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: maybe walking around downtown and I'm like, wow, Like, yeah, 274 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: they don't know, but but that's good for us, you know, 275 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: because we get to see them, they get to see us, 276 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: you know. And they're fixing up downtown. We got all 277 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: of the a new type of strip mall coming up downtown. 278 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, Whole Foods is coming in. But that's nice. 279 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: We have three more hotels coming downtown. Yep, yep, yep, 280 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: it is. It's about to happen. That's what the programs do. 281 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: You all encourage industries like all these new like hotels 282 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: and stuff that are you know, coming up. You' all 283 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: encouraging them. The higher kids that absolutely absolutely. Endigo hire 284 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: ninety percent of new workers. Wow. And what happened was 285 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: when we found out the hotel was coming, they partnered 286 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: with the city to create a hospitality program, hotel motor 287 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: management program that we did in the city and we 288 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: trained the residents so they'll be able to get those jobs. 289 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: And so the beautiful thing about it is we did 290 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: that just for the Endigo, not knowing that three other 291 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: hotels will come in. And so we've been working and 292 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: working and working, and so now we have three other hotels, 293 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: So that program is going to live past the hotel Indigo, 294 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: so we get more people through the program and higher 295 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: the other hotels that are coming to the city. Do 296 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: you give owners breaks for hiring Newark residents, because that 297 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: would be something now I'm sure a lot of people 298 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: are coming. I opened up a business, you know, hire 299 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: Newark residence, a discounting taxes or discounting in or discounting 300 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: that is that possible? Well, right as possible. But right 301 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: now when people get when you get a tax abatement 302 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: or subsidies from the city, there's requirements. So most developers 303 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: don't most of them don't use all of their money 304 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: or none of their money at all as a matter 305 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: of fact, and they get a lot of state and 306 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: city subsidies when that happens, or they get a tax 307 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: abatement from us, which means they don't pay full taxes. 308 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: They pay a pilot or a payment in leewer taxes. 309 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: And if they if we grant them that, then in 310 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: turn they have to hire a certain percentage of new 311 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Rakers and that's usually like forty percent. But what we're 312 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: doing now is we're working above that forty percent, telling 313 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: folks that the jobs that you want, let us know 314 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: in advance, and you will use our work for US 315 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: dollars and training people so they will have those jobs 316 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: and become available.

So y'all gonna start seeing a lot of 349 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: Nork three point Oh. But you know, I know he 350 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: can tell you point oh. Well, it's it's what we 351 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: talked about. The millennials, the the young youngsters that out 352 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: here that use the iPad, the internet, that that want amenities, 353 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: that want space, and you know, we're creating an opportunity 354 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: using the infrastructure that we have under the ground the 355 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: fiber optic cables to create Wi Fi in the city, 356 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: free Wi Fi in public places. It's taking the city 357 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: to the to the next level, right, So creating more 358 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: jobs for people using the manufacturing that we talked about, 359 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: building quality housing to turn Newark into a place, uh 360 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: that you would want to live at, you know, a 361 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: destination city that people want to come to, uh and 362 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: keeping the same people in it at the same time, 363 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: so not throwing people out, training them to be a 364 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: part of a new Newark, a newer three point zero. 365 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: Like you know, you get a new video video games, 366 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: it's the new video game. It's better than the old ones. 367 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: So the whole concept of newer three point oh is 368 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: this is Newark at the next level, in the next century, bigger, better, brighter, 369 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: batter You think it's a negative connotation with the brick 370 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: city term, I do. I mean, well, I think it's 371 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: outlived as usefulness. Really, you know, at the end, when 372 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: I was a kid, I was brick city all the way. 373 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: You know, you know, it made you feel rugged, tough, 374 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm from NewYork. That's what's up. And it's 375 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: really more about because we had so many projects in 376 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: the city more per capita than any city in America, 377 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: you know, as a matter of fact. That's why we 378 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: were the brick city, and everybody felt gritty and grimy 379 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: about that. So we're not that anymore. We moved on. 380 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: A lot of those projects are torn down. We moved 381 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: into the next, next generation, next opportunities. Well not really. 382 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: So we're trying to advance the city without getting rid 383 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: of the people. What I said, we don't want to 384 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: get rid of new Ark because we love the people, 385 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: their families. We like JD and Rod Digger and all 386 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: those folks. They from Newark, you know, Mike Jordan, they 387 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: went to the same high school. New York has a 388 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: lot of great people. You know, we don't highlight them, 389 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: and we're trying to highlight them now so the kids 390 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: can see we got great people that came from lived 391 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: on your same block, living in Rafton the Avenue.
