Two public meetings will take place this week as the consultation process for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the 35th America’s Cup continues.
The meetings will take place at 5:30 pm on Tuesday January 26th at Anglican Cathedral Hall, 29 Church Street, Hamilton and 6pm on Wednesday January 27th the ORACLE TEAM USA base, 5 Freeport Drive, Sandys (Dockyard). Official notices for the meetings were published last week.
At each meeting the draft AC35 Master Plan, along with other relevant draft plans, will be available for viewing in an open house format. Bermuda Environmental Consulting Ltd. (BEC), who are conducting the EIA on behalf of the ACBDA, will host the meetings and present the plans. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
“The consultation process is a critical part of EIA and we look forward to receiving feedback from the community and harnessing that information to resolve any issues related to the plans,” says Jack Ward, President of BEC.
The final EIA will form part of the final planning application which is expected to be ready in early March, 2016.
