According to one attendee, who showed up to express his opposition to the project, the meeting was in such a small room, that it rapidly overflowed into the hallway and into another room. With dozens unable to participate fully, the decision was made to reschedule to Tuesday, June 9 in the high school cafeteria. More information on that meeting and on other hearings related to the project is available here.
