Since initiation of the facilities planning stage of the Clinton Street CSO Abatement Project in Feb 2000 until the preparation of this report, the County has scheduled and attended numerous public presentations and/or informational meetings with interested members of the community. The purpose of the meetings was to inform the interested parties of the progress of the facilities planning efforts and to obtain input relative to potential issues and concerns that may be associated with implementing the CSO abatement facilities within the Clinton Street CSO service area (minutes were recorded). In addition to formal public meetings (Sep 19, 2001 and May 6, 2002), meetings were held with the following groups/organizations and businesses (Clare 2005):
