 Good morning. I'd like to welcome everyone to the Noma District and I'm going to tell you a little bit about the Noma District. Noma represents the long-standing history of a tight-knit business community that has called North Columbia Main Street Corridor homes for decades. The name is familiar like the face you see in the park or at the coffee shop. The trestle is in the middle of it all. It's a tribute to the past and a toast to the future. While we celebrate the pioneers who create the unique Noma culture and the neighborhoods who have recently supported our local shops and restaurant in this vibrant artistic community, we eagerly welcome new businesses and ideas to North Columbia. And today we're welcoming a new business, SNA Seafood. Welcome. Good morning. How's everybody doing this morning? Good. On behalf of the Mayor, Steve Benjamin, Teresa Wilson, our city manager and city council who they were not able to be here today because of other commitments, they are so happy about the development that's taking place here in North Maine. We cannot be happier to be a part of this great, great effort. As you can see, this was a vacant building for a while as is a lot of properties here throughout the North Columbia area. But this is one example of the development that's underway here in North Columbia and we could not be happier to be a part of it. But we know that our efforts are only as good as the efforts of the community, the efforts of Noma, and we're happy to have them as a partner as always in this effort. But I wanted to take this time to say also how SNA Seafood is really pushing the process. They're located in almost like a residential area. The residential areas are within walking distance. So this is actually a reflection of what it takes to make the community and neighborhood livable, making sure that you have things within the reach of the people that are here, affordable, entertainment, access to restaurants, and we're doing that right here in North Columbia. We've had some other new restaurants that also open up. You'll hear more about that later on probably next week or week or two. But we are so happy to be a part of this effort. Again, we couldn't be happier to be a partner here with you this morning. And we look forward to other great, great businesses and retail, both retail and housing opportunities taking place here in North Columbia. So thank you so much. Good morning. My name is Cecil Hannibal, and I bring you greetings from the Eau Claire North Columbia Development Corporation and my board, whereas I serve as executive director for that organization. It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood. Won't you agree? Yes. It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood. I want to thank Ms. Jenkins for being here and with SNA Seafood. You could have been anywhere else in Columbia or South Columbia, but you decided to be here in North Columbia. Thank you for being here. And North Columbia, as Melissa stated, it's a wonderful place. Has it always been? And you look at the fact that we have I-20, I-277, Columbia College, C-I-U, Lutheran Seminary, Pepsi, Cromers, Pell Meadow, and 30,000 residents that are homeless. So you got a lot of people to feed. But once again, thank you for being here. And once again, it's a wonderful day in the neighborhood. Thank you. Good morning, afternoon. I'd just like to say welcome, distinguished guests, patrons, friends, and family. First of all, I would like to thank everyone who made this possible for us. Sabrina, special thanks to you. Since the day you've met us, you just really supported us and we cannot thank you enough for that. Many people ask where we got our name from. Well, this question says a lot about who we are and what we stand for. SNA stands for Sean and Aiden, which are my children, our children. This is our family and this is why we do what we do. We started our business in our very own backyard, or my Aunt Ruthie's backyard, selling fish plates on 4th of July and holidays. And then from that, we grew to our first storefront. And here we are seven years later with our second storefront. Still together, standing as a family. Our journey is really just that. It is our whole entire family linked up together to make this go. And what we aim to do in this beautiful area of Columbia is not only take from the community, but be an active part of the community and give back to our community. We want to welcome everyone within walking distance, driving distance, hearing distance. Come on down, let us feed you, let us take care of you and become part of our family. Grow with us and help push us to many more SNAs all over Columbia. That is the goal. And we just want to make everyone that has supported us, that has patronized us, we want to take you along on that journey. This is not just us. This is not just SNAs in business. This is us together as a family, our city, our community. And we just want to grow and succeed together with everyone. And we just want to say thank you very much for this opportunity. We hope you enjoy everything that we have for you. It's really good. I'm not going to lie. I'm not just saying that. But we definitely thank you and we look forward to being an active part of our community and an active part of the North Maine business area. So thank you very much, guys. Thank you. In closing, I would just like to thank the organizations that's always behind North Columbia Business Association. We have the Empowerment Zone. Felicia is here. We have the Oakland Community Council. Christy is here. And all these people that stand behind you really support this community. I just want to thank everyone for coming out here on a Friday afternoon, well, Friday at lunchtime to welcome this new business into our area.
