Macon County Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting for May 2021

**update** I (Bobby) apologize. I cannot stream the meeting of the Macon County Commissioners from upstairs because I have no access to an electrical outlet to power my encoder.

I'll try to have a video up tomorrow.

The Macon County Board of Commissioners will be meeting tonight on the third floor of the county courthouse in the Commissioners Boardroom. Macon Media will stream the meeting live on Facebook at fb.com/MaconMediaNews and on a video player that will be embedded below just before 6pm.
