Macon County Commissioners January 2011 Work Session Live Coverage

The Macon County Commissioners will be meeting for an all-day work session in the Cecil Groves building on the Macon County Campus of Southwestern Community College on Siler Farm Road in Franklin, NC on Saturday, January 29th, 2011.


During the meeting, the past year will be reviewed and plans will be discussed concerning 20111 and 2012.


I will be there throughout the morning session taking notes and anticipate being able to be there for the afternoon session as well, although it is not a certainty. Due to the location and length of the meeting, I will not be streaming the meeting live, but will be providing occasional updates via my cell phone to twitter using the #MaconGov hashtag.  You may track it via your favorite twitter client or below on this widget:
