A St. Mary's County commissioner announced the final town hall of the year for Thursday at 6 p.m. at Cedar Lane Retirement Center and said he is expanding quarterly outreach to hold presentations at each senior center to reach residents with limited transportation.
A St. Mary's County commissioner announced the final town hall of the year is scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m. at Cedar Lane Retirement Center and described an expansion of quarterly outreach to senior centers across the county.
The commissioner said the town hall is the last of the year and invited residents to "come out, ask a question, get a direct answer to a question," emphasizing an effort to reach seniors who face transportation barriers.
The commissioner said, "I do a regular one every quarter at Bay District, and I've now expanded it to going to each of the senior centers as well every quarter and doing a presentation there because it's hard for our seniors sometimes to get that transportation." He said the outreach is aimed at making county information more accessible to older residents, particularly those living in the northern part of the county.
County officials have held quarterly town halls at Bay District; the commissioner described taking the sessions "on the road" to make them more accessible and said the events provide two-way information: officials share updates and hear residents' perspectives. He said the sessions are "always an educational time" for him and invited anyone interested to attend.
The announcement included practical details: the town hall is set for Thursday at 6 p.m. at Cedar Lane Retirement Center. Other logistics and materials for the sessions were not specified in the meeting record.
