A public input and informational meeting is set for 7 p.m. in the Grand Forks Civic Auditorium.
All citizens are welcome.
City and Corps officials will be on hand for the meeting to listen to citizens and answer questions. Officials say the meeting is important for all citizens, because many decisions made early in the dike building process could be used in later phases and throughout the levee system. The city and Corps want to hear ideas from citizens who will have to live with the result of these decisions long after the dike is built. The Olson and Elmwood Drive areas are among sections of Grand Forks scheduled for the first phase of dike construction. Public comment must be received by the Corps by Nov. 29 for possible incorporation in its final technical document.
