Meetings will focus on a developer's plans to build more than 1,100 hotel, condo and time-share units in the state park near Brunswick in southeast Georgia. In September, the Jekyll Island Authority selected a Greensboro, Ga., upscale developer with plans for a $352 million residential and commercial "town center" on 64 acres.

Each hearing, scheduled for two hours, will include a presentation by developer Linger Longer and be followed by a question-and-answer session. For more information: www.rediscoverjekyll.com.
