The Prince George County Board of Supervisors announced on April 27 that residents can participate electronically in the public comment period and public hearings for the upcoming April 28 meeting. The county is providing a Microsoft Teams link to allow those unable to attend in person an opportunity to speak during designated portions of the meeting.
This initiative aims to increase accessibility for community members who wish to engage with local government proceedings but cannot be present at the meeting location. The electronic participation option is limited to making comments or participating in hearings; it does not provide access for viewing the entire Board of Supervisors meeting. Residents interested in watching the session are directed to use the county’s Live Streaming and Video Archive page.
