Left In Lowell

During the next couple of weeks, the City Council will be busy discussing some significant issues in Sub-Committees. These meetings are generally held prior to City Council meetings, thus a 5:30 start. Most of us are at work or on our way home.

But have no fear, Lowell Telecommunications Corporation provides video streaming both live and then archived.

Not only are the members of the Sub-Committee present at these meetings but often the rest of the Council members attend and participate. Often the Sub-Committee meeting is the place where significant discussion takes place and detailed information on the particular topic is made available usually by the various Department heads who are invited to participate.
