The hearings were originally scheduled for Feb. 9-10, but were postponed due to the snow storm that hit the Washington region over the past week.

The public hearings are among a number of Council activities postponed from Feb. 9-11, but rescheduled for the week of Feb. 16-18.

The public hearings will be held in the Third Floor Hearing Room of the Council Office Building at 100 Maryland Ave. in Rockville.
