Mobile, AL (PRWEB) April 27, 2006 -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will host a second round of free workshops May 1, 2, and 4 to seek public input concerning the near-term projects that have been identified for the Mississippi coastal areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.
"In the first round of workshops, we sought public ideas for ways to provide hurricane storm damage protection, protection from coastal flooding and restoration of critical environmental functions in the three Mississippi coastal counties affected by Hurricane Katrina," said E. Patrick Robbins, Public Affairs Officer, Mobile District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "The second round of workshops will let the public voice their preferences for the 15 near-term projects identified in the first round."
The workshops will be held in Jackson, Harrison and Hancock counties. The public is invited to take this opportunity to review options from the April workshops, express their preferences and comment on the perceived strengths and weaknesses of each. These options can be previewed at www.mscip.usace.army.mil.
This information will be used to develop a list of potential near-term projects that may be included the corps' 6-month report to congress. Individuals interested in stewardship of the Mississippi coast are encouraged to participate in one of three workshops.
Individuals who cannot attend the workshops are encouraged to pre-register and participate via a webcast held May 3, 7 p.m. For information about the webcast or the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Project or to pre-register for the webcast, go to www.mscip.usace.army.mil.
