Good Morning,

A quick reminder that there will be a public meeting on 10/9, the location has changed from the Library to the Multi-purpose room at BFA. Also, please vote on 10/10.

There have been requests at the previous meetings as well as on social media for a breakdown of the costs of the project. I am working to get these socialized with the community. As always you can contact me with any questions by email at smitchell@fwsu.org or by phone at 309-8974.
