The Macon County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday night, September 10th, for their regular monthly meeting for September 2019 in the courthouse. Macon Media will be experimenting with publishing video of this meeting in shorter segments instead of just one big video. Each segment will be accompanied by a brief written summary of what takes place in the video. This means that it will be a longer period of time before all the segments of the meeting are published. If all goes well and the feedback is positive, this will become the way Macon Media publishes information about meetings, provided there is time to do so.
