When Georgia's shelter-in-place order began earlier this month, Hall County Government meetings were canceled, but next week county officials plan to hold public meetings remotely.
Even though the Hall County Government Center won't be open to the public, citizens can still view the Hall County Planning Commission meeting on Monday, the Hall County Commission work session on Monday and the Hall County Commission voting session on Tuesday. Public comment will also be taken in advance of the meetings or during the meetings.
The county issued the following information Thursday to help citizens navigate the remote meetings:
