From the County of Humboldt:

Due to icy road conditions along US Highway 299, the County of Humboldt has moved tonight’s Budget Roadshow meeting to the McKinleyville Library at 1606 Pickett Road in McKinleyville. The meeting was previously scheduled to take place at Willow Creek Community Services District in Willow Creek, but after consulting with the California Highway Patrol regarding US Highway 299, the county decided to avoid the potentially dangerous conditions along the road.

If you are in Eastern Humboldt and were planning to attend tonight’s meeting, you will still be able to participate in the budget development process. A short video of the Budget Roadshow meetings will be made later in the month and broadcast on Access Humboldt and the county’s website. Citizens will be able to submit comments online via the county’s discussion forum, Open Humboldt. There will also be one more Budget Roadshow meeting on Thursday evening at the Sequoia Conference Center at 901 Myrtle Avenue in Eureka. If you plan to travel along 299 to attend the Eureka meeting, please check local road conditions and drive carefully.

Tonight’s meeting in McKinleyville will still begin at 6 p.m. with a meet and greet at 5:30 p.m. Supervisor Ryan Sundberg is hosting the event. Also in attendance will be staff from the Sheriff’s Office, Department of Health & Human Services, District Attorney’s Office, Probation, Economic Development, Planning & Building and more.
