Parking will be available free of charge in the nonmetered portions of the Phillips lot directly south of Davies Center.
A description of the project and findings of the EIA will be presented, and all persons will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to identify both orally and in writing any support, issues or concerns they believe should be addressed during the EIA process for this proposed project.
