Registration for the meetings is encouraged and can be accessed at i81southcentralpa.com/candidate-projects.

Each meeting will highlight two locations along the I-81 corridor that were previously identified as areas for improvement.

The Dec. 14 meeting will focus on the Chambersburg and Carlisle areas, while the Dec. 15 meeting will address the Harrisburg area and rural Dauphin/Lebanon areas.

All feedback will be used to help develop projects for each location. The end product will include potential projects and initiatives that will be used to set priorities for funding as resources become available.
