The Public Service Commission holds an information session first at 4 p.m., with public statements at 5 p.m. The Town of Ghent also holds a public hearing at 7 p.m. June 20 at Town Hall to consider proposed Local Law No. 1 of the year 2013, "which would amend the Town of Ghent Zoning Code regarding issues of concerts, exhibitions, festivals, race tracks, commercial rural recreational (use)."
