At the May 29 meeting at St. Paul's, which hundreds attended, many had questions about a HUD senior housing project being built next to the Goddard School. (See a video of many of those questions with answers.)
More than once it was asked, where is our county representative, Steve Stenger? Sixth District County Councilman Stenger said he couldn't attend because of an ill family member, but has planned a meeting with constituents.
Stenger will host a town-hall meeting Friday, June 7, to discuss the project in the main gymnasium at Oakville Senior High School from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

"And I say that because the project was approved a year and three months ago, and we have many residents and businesses that are claiming that they did not get notice (of the public hearing in March 2012)."
