Public Availability Sessions

• Thursday, Nov. 15, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Fire Station #1 at 19729 S. Main St. in Cornelius. The session covered two study areas: (1) the area around the Foamex LP facility in Cornelius and (2) in Huntersville, the area around the Church St./Holbrooks Rd. intersection, 3 miles south of Foamex and east of I-77.
