Geological Survey Town Hall planned at NIC

COEUR d’ALENE — The public is invited to an Idaho Geological Survey Town Hall Meeting from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, April 21, in Meyer Health and Sciences Building lecture hall 106 at North Idaho College.

UI Vice President for Research and Economic Development Jack McIver and Senior Associate Vice President for Research and Economic Development Bob Smith also will take questions and feedback.
