Harford County Hosts Virtual Town Hall Meeting

From Harford County: Planning for Harford County government’s next budget, County Executive Barry Glassman will host a virtual town hall meeting on Thursday, January 19, 2017 with multimedia options available now for citizens to share their priorities for the 2018 fiscal year. This third annual budget event will stream live on the county website beginning at 6:00 p.m. from Harford Community College’s Darlington Hall.

“Our virtual town hall meetings are an efficient and convenient way for citizens to tell me what they most care about for the upcoming budget year,” said County Executive Barry Glassman. “Attendees are always welcome at the live event, but thanks to social media and modern technology, participation is just a click away on a computer or smartphone. Citizens who are working, caring for children, or otherwise busy in the evening shouldn’t have to come to a meeting to participate in their local government.”

Beginning immediately, citizens can provide budget comments via social media, email, or U.S. Mail. The county executive will review all incoming messages, some of which will be read aloud during the live event. The live event will also include public comments from attendees and messages relayed from callers to dedicated phone lines.
