i am robert stephenson, the project manager with bridge housing. i had the great fortune of getting to work on the apartments with michael, chp, and other bridge staff. i have gotten to see the project into construction. on behalf of bridge housing and chp, i also want to thank a number of people who have made this day possible and worked extremely hard to get us to this milestone. i began working on the project barely six months ago. i inherited a team that has been truly a pleasure to work with. i cannot see you out there. you are somewhere out there. i appreciate you guys. this has been an amazing team to work with. i want to start by thanking michael, who cannot hear me because it is very loud. he has worked on the project for over three years. this has been going on since 2008. he has been instrumental in its success. many others have been working on this for a long time. i want to thank our core team members. richard and vana have been working on this since day one. they have been fantastic to work with. mimi sullivan is here from sullivan de
