(Green Bay) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region is announcing a public information meeting to discuss the proposed reconstruction of the WIS 47 (Richmond Street) interchange at US 41 in the city of Appleton in Outagamie County. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 4 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Marian University in Room 001, 720 Association Drive, Appleton. Please enter through the main front entrance where a receptionist can direct you to the meeting room. A short presentation is planned for 5:10 p.m.
