Community meeting for Tidewater Regional Office

The Department of Environmental Quality’s community meeting for the Tidewater area drew more than 30 people to the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission office in Chesapeake on September 27, 2005. The meeting was co-sponsored by the planning district commission and Wetlands Watch.

Discussion was led by a panel of experts representing Wetlands Watch, the city of Chesapeake and DEQ. The theme of the meeting was how the community can become effectively involved in local land use decisions and environmental permitting decisions, particularly relating to wetlands protection.
