Your Town Hall Bellman

People used to find out what happened in their city hall by a bellman who, after every meeting, rang his bell and announced the news to the passing people. Our cities have expanded, and newspapers have taken up the role of informer.

This blog will keep you up to date with every Gainesville and Alachua County Commission meeting. We’ll also have posts and multimedia about pressing issues in the community. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we’ll have the news for you.

We know you’re busy. You have work, school or kids to worry about— possibly all three—so you don’t have time to sit in on meetings at City Hall.

Instead, just visit The Town Crier. We’ll be your bellman.
