 We're in the heart of the city, the city's living room. This place, this space has been called those things, but I like to think of it more as a kitchen because the kitchen is where people gather. It's a place where people go to work, it's a place for pleasure, it's a place for seriousness, it's a place to be playful. It's the most functional room in the house. That's my vision for this space. It's a place for us all to celebrate. Courthouse Square has always been and always should be a civic space, a community space. It has always been and always should be the first place that Santa Rosas think of when we need to come together. But this city council didn't spend $10 million on this space just to build a better kitchen. We've invested $10 million here to benefit all of Santa Rosa. From the downtown to Roseland, from Apple Valley to Bennett Valley, from South Park to Oakmont. That's what this investment is about, helping the whole city. It's not just about the square, it's not just about downtown. This space should never be static. Starting right now with this event, it's a space that will be a constant place of activity. A place for music and sports. A place for commerce and conversation and community. I want to thank the people of Santa Rosa. This is your day to celebrate a valuable new asset in our city. But here we are. We've done it. This is a place for every person to enjoy. So please enjoy it. Celebrate our new Courthouse Square.
