The project scope has been updated, and the budget revised to accommodate promotional activities, a project coordinator, and other essentials. Jen Hernandez has been selected as the Project Coordinator, tasked with overseeing specific responsibilities for the market. A reimbursement of approximately $120 was processed for Canva Pro. Work on the Project Coordinator MOU and the initial invoice was initiated in November and December 2024. A potential local resident to serve as the Market Manager has been identified, with a decision expected in Q1 2025.
