LEESVILLE, La. (KALB) - As the debate over carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) grows in Central Louisiana, community organizers continue to call for public involvement.

A community meeting is set for Monday, October 20, 6 p.m. at the Leesville Event Center located at 608 Nolan Trace.

Organizers said the goal is to inform residents about CCS projects proposed in the region and how they could affect nearby communities. The meeting will include an explanation of how carbon capture works, potential risks, and time for public questions.

Organizers also said they hope the event shows state leaders that residents want a stronger voice in future CCS decisions.
