near Grenada, Mississippi.
The meeting will be held on Nov.
16, 2011 beginning at 9:00 a.m. at
the Montgomery County Courthouse,
614 Summit St., Winona, Miss.
Conducted by Board staff, the
meeting will allow the public and
stakeholders an opportunity to
comment on Grenada's proposal. The
meeting will continue until all
interested persons or parties have
had an opportunity to speak.
