RICHMOND, Ky. (AP) - Two groups working to dispose of stockpiles of chemical weapons at the Blue Grass Army Depot are holding a public meeting this week in Richmond.

The Kentucky Chemical Demilitarization Citizens' Advisory Commission and the Chemical Destruction Community Advisory Board will meet at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Eastern Kentucky University's Carl D. Perkins Building.

The Chemical Demilitarization Citizens' Advisory Commission is chaired by Doug Hindman and is a governor-appointed commission that represents community and state interests to the Department of Defense.
