Georgetown County Council Chambers to undergo audio/visual system upgrade
GEORGETOWN COUNTY — Georgetown County Council Chambers will undergo an audio/visual system upgrade over the next several weeks. While the project will bring important technical improvements, the changes may not be immediately noticeable to the public when meetings resume in the space in December.
“This upgrade is really about addressing some ongoing technical issues that have been plaguing our A/V system for the past several years,” said Randy Akers, the County’s Multimedia Technology Specialist. “The system we have now was installed when Council first moved into that room back in, I think, 2010, and in the past few years it has really started to show its age. By modernizing the ‘back-end’ technology we use to facilitate public meetings in that space, we hope to ensure that we can continue to provide as high-quality of an experience as possible, both for the audience as well as elected and appointed officials.”
The upgrade, which began today, is expected to take no more than five weeks. While work is ongoing, County Council Chambers will be unavailable to host most public meetings. As such, several meetings previously scheduled for Council Chambers will now take place at Howard Auditorium, located at 1610 Hawkins Street, Georgetown. Those meetings are:
The Treasurer’s Tax Sale scheduled for Nov. 3 will proceed in Council Chambers as scheduled due to the use of new software used to facilitate the sale.
