The public meeting is required by the LERTA legislation and provides an opportunity for the three taxing bodies to hear from constituents and discuss the abatement schedule and geographic extent of the LERTA. Proposed extent and abatement schedule information will be provided prior to the meeting in the form of a draft ordinance.
