Please note the next Community Stakeholders Meeting No. 2 moved from summer/fall due to time needed for plan reviews by Federal and State agencies and subject matter experts.  Rather than schedule during the holiday season, the Project Team is looking to schedule the meeting in the first quarter of 2020.  A meeting invitation letter will be mailed two weeks in advance once the date, time and location have been determined.
