Public meeting for Dakota Access pipeline set for tomorrow

South Dakota Public Utilities Commissioners will hold a public meeting tomorrow night, Jan. 22, to gather opinions related to the proposed oil pipeline, Dakota Access, that is set to go through Lincoln County.

The meeting will be held at the Sioux Falls Best Western Ramkota Hotel from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Roosevelt Room. The hotel is located at 3200 W. Maple St.
