Public Information Hearings on Planning for Jamestown 400th.

SUMMARY: NPS, working with the Association for the Preservation of 
Virginia Antiquities (APVA), is hosting two public information meetings 
to gather information regarding the planning for Jamestown's 400th

and Africans came together to form the first permanent English colony 
in the New World and to begin to develop the society and government now 
known as the United States of America. The planning includes 
facilities, exhibits and interpretation as well as environmental 
compliance. The public information meetings will provide an opportunity 
for the interested public to provide input into our planning process.
