BY SARA TOUZARD

Officials announced a public meeting in Jamaica to discuss the city’s proposed citywide remediation plan to remove the potentially toxic Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) from light fixtures and caulk at public schools.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will collect feedback from the community on the remediation plan throughout the five boroughs before making its recommendations at the end of the month.

The meeting in Queens will be held at 6:30 pm. on Thursday at the Queens Gateway to Health Sciences Secondary School, located at 160-20 Goethals Ave.
