“It’s going to be really accessible for those using bus transportation it just a couple block from the plaza,” she said. “It’s going to open up some availability for students, it’s more centrally located to HSU and also working with Arcata House Partnership, we are going to be able to bring in some more HSU interns which is really exciting so, it’s a lot of partnership, we’ll be able to get food out closer to the plaza. “
