East Lyme — A third and final public meeting on a joint land-use study of Stones Ranch Military Reservation and Camp Niantic will take place here Tuesday evening.

The meeting will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the East Lyme Community Center, 41 Society Road.

East Lyme, in cooperation with Old Lyme and Lyme, the Connecticut Army National Guard, Stones Ranch, Camp Niantic, state agencies and others, prepared the study to address compatibility planning in areas around Stones Ranch and Camp Niantic.

The goal is to protect the viability of current and future missions at Stones Ranch and Camp Niantic while accommodating growth, sustaining the economic health of the region and protecting public health and safety, according to a news release.

A draft report of the joint land-use study was released on June 18 for a public review and comment period, which will end Tuesday.

The draft land-use study and background report are available at www.stonesranchjlus.com.

At Tuesday's meeting, attendees will be presented with an overview of the study process and the key findings and recommendations. 

The report documents include information on the project background, the compatibility issues identified and recommended strategies for addressing compatibility.

The public will have the opportunity to comment on the draft report at the meeting.

Written comments also can be submitted on the project website, or by emailing comments to the JLUS project manager, Gary Goeschel II, at ggoeschel@eltownhall.com by Aug. 30.
