Part III, line 2

“Significant Program Services Not Included Prior - The South End Grocery SEG: BlueLight opened SEG a community grocery store on December 27 2022. SEG operated primarily from January 2023 to August 2023. The SEG program began without services in FY21 with fundraising and logistics to purchase the property at 106 South Pearl Street Albany New York from the Albany Housing Authority for a purchase price of $900,000. The SEG program budget for FY21 was $542,491. Of this amount $422,186 was used for the property purchase. The SEG program budget for FY22 was $218,887. Of this amount $120,810 was used to renovate the purchased property. FY22 included the South End Night Market sponsored and funded by BlueLight in partnership with Forts Ferry Farm and AVillage. AVillage was provided free program space and storage from April to October including storing a portable garage from PODS at no cost and operations on the 1.55 acre property including interior bathrooms and refrigeration space. BlueLight paid $10,000 to Forts Ferry Farm to supply produce and farm-fresh products for free during the entire market season. The SENM program was discontinued in FY23 in lieu of the now fully operational grocery store interior.”
