The discussion at each workshop was tailored to the types of issues experienced in each respective area.
During the workshop, the project team was introduced; an overview of the JLUS planning process was provided; opportunities for public involvement were discussed; an overview of Keesler AFB was given; and compatibility factors were discussed. The public participated in a survey with results presented to the audience in real-time to gauge attendees’ understanding of Keesler AFB and to provide insight into potential compatibility issues. Each survey was tailored to the respective meeting area.
