Why do we have a public'meetino? :
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is the cornerstone of our Nation's environmental
laws and was enacted to ensure that information on the. environmental impacts of any Federal, or .
federally'funded, action is available to public officials and citiiens before decisions are made and before.
actions are taken. In order to fully understand the transportation issues :regarding Farm to Market
(FM) 521 and its surrounding communities, it is essential that the public be involved in every step of the;
decision-making process. The purpose of this public meeting is to present the proposed improvements to
FM 521 from Beltway 8 to FM 2234 andto obtain public feedback On the proposed.project..
