Temporal boundary

This website is continuation work

Development after June 30, 2026 is continuing documentation and follow-on public benefit. It is not represented as grant-period labor or completion.

Acknowledgment pending

The authoritative City logo and exact public funding-acknowledgment wording have not yet been supplied. The site preserves an explicit placeholder rather than inventing them.
