Community
input and public involvement is an important part of the Corps' efforts.
The Corps has established and maintains a two-way dialog with community
members and other interested parties. The Corps encourages members of the
public to make suggestions and recommendations about the investigation and
any required clean up at the former Voorheesville Depot. The Corps has created
a variety of programs that will help community members learn about the project
and become active participants in discussions with the Corps. The programs
include: |

A
Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) was established in response to a high level
of public interest in the site. The RAB is a forum for discussing and exchanging
information regarding the investigation and clean up of any environmental
and public health hazards encountered at the former Depot. The RAB includes
members of the local community, representatives from state and local government,
and the Corps. The RAB reviews reports, makes recommendations on any further
necessary actions, and helps to set restoration priorities at the former
Depot. RAB meetings are held every two to three months. The next RAB meeting
is scheduled for Wednesday, April 26th at 6:30 pm at the Guilderland Public
Library. RAB meetings are open to the public, and the RAB encourages anyone
interested in the project to participate in the meetings.
