It is the Department’s policy to keep persons informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with us to assist in the project’s development.  If there is adequate interest, an informational meeting will be conducted.  At this time, it is not anticipated that a formal public hearing will be necessary.

The design plans for the project are expected to be completed in October 2012 and a construction schedule will be developed once a funding source has been identified.
