The meeting is expected to last approximately three hours.
The meeting will begin at City Hall with a project overview and an initial question-and-answer period. Attendees will then proceed to the project site for the mandatory site visit. Following the site visit, attendees will return to City Hall for a final question-and-answer period.
Attendance will be documented at the initial question-and-answer session, the site visit, and the final question-and-answer session.
