The meeting will begin with an open house session from 5:30pm-7:00pm during which attendees can walk through an exhibit area, talk with members of the design team and make comments. At 7:00pm, there will be brief presentation that will describe the proposed project and outline steps for the project followed by another opportunity to talk with the designers.
