Macon County Board of Commissioners
September 2025 Regular Meeting

The Macon County Board of Commissioners will be meeting tonight at 6pm. Due to equipment malfunction, Macon Media will not be able to livestream the meeting. The county livestream is posted below and will be replaced by the Macon Media version (with better audio) in a day or so. 

The big attraction for this meeting will be the public hearing on whether or not the Macon County Board of Commissioners will take over the duties of the Macon County Board of Health. There will be a sign up sheet for those who wish to speak about this.
