S.D.S. Informational Meeting set for Florence

The Southern Delivery System (SDS) project participants are hosting an information open house Thursday evening, January 29th in Florence to discuss the Highway 115 Alternative, the alternative that would go through Fremont County.

The open house will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the Florence Municipal Center, 600 W. Third Street. It will give Fremont County residents an opportunity to learn more about SDS and ask questions in advance of a February 10 hearing by the Fremont Board of County Commissioners to consider a Special Review Use Permit for the project. Residents can drop by at their convenience.

SDS project participants will be available to discuss the permit application and information about key project components, how project impacts will be mitigated and the benefits of the project to Fremont County.

Project experts will be on hand at information stations to provide information and answer questions about the project's water intake location on the Arkansas River near Florence, proposed Florence River Park improvements, pipeline construction, SDS pump stations and power requirements, environmental issues, property impacts, SDS benefits to Fremont County and the commitments by SDS project participants to Fremont County and its residents.
