Mar. 20: Cannon Co. Planning Commission Meeting

The monthly meeting of the Cannon County Planning Commission will take place Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. in the courtroom.

As agreed at our last meeting, the date and time of our meeting has been changed to accommodate Shannon Copus who will also be attending the Woodbury Planning Commission meeting at 6:00 p.m.

This will allow him to make one trip fromCookevilleto attend both meetings.

Shannonhas prepared an agenda and provided his meeting notes from our January and February meetings. I think the latter will suffice for our minutes.

Please plan to attend this meeting. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 5:00.
