Thanks OB RAG for posting this! Unfortunately, there also is a candidates’ debate on May 31st. Please come to this Expansion Meeting first. It will be open for you to examine the proposed plans at 6 pm. Plenty of time to see the plans, write your comments on the provided questionnaire and make the other meeting. Or you can stay!
