One is set for Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Mesabi East Schools in Aurora, weather conditions permitting. The other is Thursday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Schwan Center in the National Sports Center complex in Blaine.
Representatives from PolyMet Mining, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and others will attend. They'll provide information about the draft environmental impact statement for the project.
Officials from the company and the agencies will be available to answer questions from the public.
