A meeting to solicit public comment on the proposal to buy the abandoned Walmart building in Greenport and relocate the Department of Social Services there, along with every other county office except those required by law to be situated in the county seat, will be held tomorrow night--Wednesday, December 8--at 5 p.m. at the Hudson Elks Lodge, on Harry Howard Avenue just south of Hudson High School.
NOT A PUBLIC HEARING __ A PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL MEETING TO FIANLLY GIVE THE COMMUNITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THEIR THOUGHTS WHICH THEY HAVE NEVER HAD
