We've started the public participation phase of our Effingham 2050 Comprehensive Plan project, and we need your help! A focus group meeting will be conducted to discuss all aspects of transportation: public transit, streets, bridges, sidewalks, bicycle paths, traffic control, and the airport on Monday, December 16th at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council Chamber at City Hall (201 E. Jefferson Avenue). We hope you'll attend!
