There will be a Community Meeting on Thursday at the Nikiski Community Center (Mile 23.4 Kenia Spur Highway) from 6-7:30 p.m. Residents and the public are welcome to participate in the on-going dialogue about the herbicide treatment, its effectiveness, what the future plans are, and what has been done so far.
