Mayor Avery Cornet announces Marion will livestream council meetings beginning April 7
Summary
Mayor Avery Cornet said the Town of Marion will begin live-streaming its council meetings on a new YouTube channel starting April 7, 2025, at about 5:30 p.m., and encouraged residents to attend in person at the municipal building while asking for patience during early technical rollout.
Mayor Avery Cornet announced that the Town of Marion will begin live-streaming its town council meetings on a new YouTube channel beginning April 7, 2025, at approximately 5:30 p.m. "We will be live streaming our council meetings on this channel starting April the 7th, 2025 at approximately 5:30," Cornet said, introducing the channel and welcoming viewers.
Cornet said the move is intended to make meetings more "informative, engaging, and transparent" for residents who cannot attend in person. She invited people who have not attended a council meeting to come to council chambers at the municipal building in Marion and participate in person, and reminded listeners that all meetings are open to the public.
The mayor acknowledged that implementing the new technology could produce "bumps and hiccups" and asked viewers to be patient during the rollout. She also asked viewers to subscribe to the town's YouTube channel and provided brief instructions on locating it on YouTube.
The announcement closes with Cornet expressing hope that the livestreams will help residents stay informed about town events and inviting the community to visit Marion in Southwest Virginia.
