River project forum set for May

Stantec, the company in charge of the North Platte River Restoration Project, will be in Saratoga this week.

On May 4 and 5, representatives from Stantec will arrive in the Platte Valley for a site visit, and could potentially start assessing the river given water flows are high enough.

Jeff Streeter, North Platte River Restoration Project Manager, said regardless whether or not Stantec will survey the river, he and aquatic habitat biologist Christina Barrineau will be hosting a public meeting concerning the project itself.

Streeter said the meeting is going to cover the basics of the river project, so the public can know what has been done and what will be done with the project.

“We want to make sure people are informed and have their questions answered,” Streeter said.

The meeting will take place from 6 to 9 p.m., on May 14 at the Platte Valley Community Center.
