The purpose of the meeting was to explain the project objectives, discuss the scope and schedule, and to obtain information on local land use issues and concerns. Representatives of the village of Ashwaubenon, city of De Pere, city of Green Bay, village of Howard, town of Lawrence, and Brown County attended the meeting.

Prior to the each of the public information meetings, a joint meeting was conducted with local government representatives to discuss the project. The project team met twice with each local government entity separately to discuss the various interchange alternatives.
