The <br />County will continullay evaluate potential new mateials to add to the drop-off areas. <br /> <br />• Why is there a cutoff date for comments in the feedback processes? Can that date be published? <br />Response: The project team needs to assemble community comments and weighting of criteria to <br />allow the team to compile information to perform final rankings. The comment cut-off date will <br />be added to the website.
