Ever wondered what it would be like to watch Tuesday’s Birmingham City Council meetings online? Well, you’re about to find out.
The city has announced plans to revamp the website by January 1. Changes will include live streaming of regular council meetings, in addition to allowing viewers to search and replay portions of the meetings on demand and a new web address, http://www.birminghamal.gov (already active and linked to the existing site layout).
The company providing the city with the web tracking technology, Granicus, also provides similar services for cities including Charlotte, NC, Los Angeles, CA, and metro Louisville, KY.
