Written comment period extended to March 7 WEST TRENTON, N.J. - The Delaware River Basin Commission’s public meeting in Easton on task force recommendations to mitigate river flooding has been rescheduled to Feb. 27, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Lafayette College’s Hugel Science Center on High Street in Easton. The Feb. 13 meeting was postponed due to the weather. An informal “poster session” beginning at 6:30 p.m. will precede the meeting to give the public an opportunity to review information on display.

Box 7360, 25 State Police Drive, West Trenton, NJ 08628. The other remaining public meetings on the draft recommendations will be held Feb. 15 in Wilmington, Del. and Feb. 20 in Ewing, N.J.
