By now you may have seen or heard the media splash about the upcoming Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) I-71/670 construction project that is getting underway now. The Discovery District Development Corp (DDDC) invites you to learn more about this project - and how to be ready - directly from the experts who can help your company prepare for one of Central Ohio's largest roadway construction projects ever. We hope you will be able to attend one of these upcoming information sessions.

• MORPC will host an information session for downtown businesses on September 26 from 3 to 4:30p.m. at the Vern Riffe Building, 31^st floor conference room. Public parking is available in the attached Riffe Center garage which may be entered from Front St., or in the Statehouse parking garage which is connected to the Riffe Center via an underground walkway. Additionally, several parking garages and lots are within a two-to-four-block walking area.

RSVP to Lynn Robinson at lrobinson@morpc.org if you wish to attend this session.

• On October 13 at 7:30 a.m., members of the ODOT I-71/670 Design Build Team will address the DDDC membership at our monthly meeting. The meeting will take place at State Auto Insurance Company, 518 E. Broad St., in first floor conference room. Parking is available in the visitors' lots at the north entrance of the building (enter lot from Washington St.).
