COUNCILMAN DiCICCO: Madam President.
Yes. COUNCILMAN DiCICCO: I wish to speak on this briefly, on this resolution.
Very well. COUNCILMAN DiCICCO: Thank you, Madam President. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues, and in particular my colleague Councilman Nutter who happens to be the Chair of the Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority Board, for the hard work that has gone into finally getting us to that point where this resolution will put us in the position to get to jump-start the long-awaited expansion of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, which will do wonders for our hospitality industry and the City of INTRODUCTION OF BILLS & RESOLUTIONS - 6/16/05 Philadelphia. It is badly needed, we have been working on this a long time. This resolution will hold the city harmless. This resolution will also enable the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through the Redevelopment Authority, to act on the condemnation and get this, again, long-awaited expansion of the Pennsylvania Convention Center underway. It is a milestone for our city, it is a great day I think for the Convention Center and the hospitality industry. So I am asking for my colleagues to support this resolution. Thank you, Madam President.
Would you please move for the adoption. COUNCILMAN DiCICCO: Thank you, Madam President. I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)
It has been moved INTRODUCTION OF BILLS & RESOLUTIONS - 6/16/05 and properly seconded that the resolution be adopted.
I was waiting until Councilman DiCicco was done. Just a couple of quick comments. One, to thank the Councilman for his work and for his service on the Board, also to the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority for their timely action two days ago. Their board was required to approve a similar resolution. And, so, I want to thank their chairman, Mr. Dougherty, and their Executive Director, Mr. Wetzel, for their work in moving this forward. As the Councilman said, it is a monumental moment for us. This pretty much completes the legal components of this transaction, and we hopefully await the disbursement of funds both to the Authority, Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority, as well as the Redevelopment Authority, so we can move this incredible project forward. INTRODUCTION OF BILLS & RESOLUTIONS - 6/16/05 And I thank all of my colleagues for their support over the past couple of years. Thank you, Madam President.
