Two in-person and virtual meetings are scheduled to receive input on the project's draft Environmental Impact Report . An EIR is a full in-depth study of potential effects a proposed project would have on the environment.The meetings will take place on May 30 at the Wilmington Recreation Center and on June 13 at Peck Park Community Center. All meetings will be offered in English and Spanish.
The draft EIR reveals that replacing the deck will take longer than previously anticipated depending on the stage of construction.
