Find your public meetings, agendas
May 13, 2024
Welcome aboard! This is a list of public meetings and agendas to help you follow the work of officials you’ve elected.
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions, keep sending them! We’re following more than 50 public agencies now and still adding more.
Authorities figure
Several “development authorities” meet in the coming weeks — that’s a phrase missing from civics textbooks, but there are a few hundred of these local government agencies in Georgia. They’re created in order to gin up business.
A small downtown development authority might be limited to modest offerings like operating a low-cost loan fund to draw businesses to a sleepy city main street.
Big multi-county authorities might offer millions of dollars of property tax breaks to favored companies like Hyundai and its suppliers.
Or, like Liberty County’s development authority, they might woo a Target warehouse to town with a $1 land deal. (The lawsuit part of the story is unusual though.)
Development authorities might – or might not – publish much information about their meetings beyond a bare-bones schedule. But large or small, these are public agencies, and their board meetings are open to the public and often give a preview of the kinds of developments that will eventually come to county commissions and city councils.
Our offerings on this list depend on what local governments publish on their websites.
