Find your public meetings, agendas
August 17, 2026
Welcome aboard! This is a list of public meetings and agendas to help you follow the work of officials you’ve elected.
Agenda item A: Your tool for finding news
There was no toxic waste at the Richmond Hill industrial site where the CEO of a nickel-refining company said she’d seen it, according to a newly published independent environmental review.
Bryan County’s attorney presented the fruitless search for contamination to the regular county commission meeting last week, as Mary Landers reports. The county started the investigation in February when KaLeigh Long, CEO of Westwin Elements, made the alarming claim that she’d seen toxic waste at Caesarstone’s old site off Belfast Keller Road and would clean it up if her company moved in.
The county’s agenda made it easy here for The Current GA to add to monthslong coverage of the nickel refinery idea, the public anger, and the quality of Long’s claims.
Published days ahead of time, Bryan’s agenda specified near the top: “Presentation — Caesarstone Technologies Environmental Study Update.”
Timely, clear, specific agendas are your tool to understanding your community’s business too. That’s why we strive to include agenda links in this calendar. Click them if you can find them a few days ahead of meetings; contact your elected officials if you can’t.
If something inspires you to go to a public meeting, send a selfie to staff@thecurrentga.org, 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.
