The Prince George County Board of Supervisors announced on April 13 that residents unable to attend the April 14 meeting in person can participate electronically during the public comment and public hearing periods. The county provided a Microsoft Teams link for those wishing to speak, emphasizing that this option is specifically for active participation rather than viewing the proceedings.
This measure allows broader access for community members who cannot be physically present but want their voices heard during important local government discussions. The announcement highlights the ongoing efforts by Prince George County to ensure inclusivity and accessibility in civic engagement.
Residents are advised that the Microsoft Teams link is solely intended for submitting comments or participating in hearings, not as a means to watch the meeting. For those interested only in viewing, officials direct them to use the Live Streaming and Video Archive page on the county’s website.
