Welcome aboard! This is a list of public meetings and agendas to help you follow the work of officials you’ve elected.

Glynn candidates, common topics

A dead mall, drainage, information flow, housing, biking, even a Superfund site: these are some of the hot topics named by candidates for Glynn County Commission District 4 as The Current GA‘s Jabari Gibbs reports in his profiles of Cornell Harvey and David Sweat.

Whether you do or don’t live anywhere near Brunswick or Little St. Simons, both profiles will help you understand what a county commission does and what motivates someone to run.

Most of the questions for a county commission — or a city council — are about maintaining or making relatively small changes to machinery that people broadly support, like systems of roads, zoning rules and keeping the community looking nice. Not too glamorous, but nobody likes a dead mall.

County commissions are on our list of public meetings for the next two weeks. If you go to any meeting on this list, send us a selfie at staff@thecurrentga.org  and we’ll send you a t-shirt from The Current.

This list starts with an automated collection that does not involve AI. It is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information. Some rely on Facebook posts which may require a login to read and cannot be collected automatically. 

You may want to call ahead and verify the meeting time and place, especially for smaller agencies.
