The first public meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 12, at 6 p.m. in the Gainesville Middle School West cafeteria. On March 21, the meeting will be held at 6 p.m. the HUB at Gainesville High School, and on March 23, the meeting will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the Family Connections Resiliency Conference at the Butler Center.
