Public Hearing

A Public Hearing was held on October 19th, 2016 at the Central Catholic High School at 1201 Airport Road in Bloomington, Illinois. The meeting was held from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The purpose of the meeting was to finalize the Environmental Assessment process and present a monitoring plan to determine if and when the project moves to construction.

A presentation was made at 6:10 PM followed by a forum where the public was given the opportunity to speak in front of attendees. Individual comments were limited to three minutes per person. Their comments were recorded, and any questions will be addressed after the comment period ends on November 2, 2016 . The remainder of the meeting was open-house format with opportunity to review exhibits.  Project team staff were available for discussion and questions.
