This Friday: A very significant regional public meeting in South Florida.

What happens at this meeting will be very big news next week and for many weeks and months to follow. In the foreseeable future the topics being addressed will most certainly affect every single person, County and local governments, and the business community here in Palm Beach County.

Where is this regional meeting being held? What time does it start? Who will be representing you? Find out all that information below. But first. . .

Just some of the items on the agenda this Friday:

• Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
• National Flood Insurance Program Reauthorization Update.
• Florida’s Water Infrastructure Challenge.
• Management Alternatives for Human Wastewater Biosolids (recently a topic on this blog).
• Florida Coastal Mapping Program Initiative.
• Regional Passenger Rail Update.
• U.S. Highway 27 Multi-Modal Corridor Project Update.
• Then the excitement builds up for “Public Comment” and the question everyone wants to know: Will Mr. Drew Martin from the Sierra Club show up?
