The Minuteman Inn, along Route 2, was declared as an Emergency Shelter in October, and families are expected to move in mid-November.
The event will include a panel discussion with residents, community leaders and more to discuss the current plans and the anticipated needs of residents. The discussion will also include insight into Haitian culture and the migrantjourney.
Community members will have the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas, while also gaining a better understanding of the process and how to support new neighbors.
