Public hearing for proposed bioterror lab

People who live near a proposed bioterrorism lab will be able to respond to the idea next week.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is considering a site near UGA to build the lab. Scientists there would study bio- and agro-terrorism and emerging diseases like avian flu.
