BARNSTABLE – The Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates will host a public hearing later this month to gather input for an upcoming Charter Review.
The hearing is Wednesday, July 17 at 4:15 p.m. in the East Wing Conference Center at the Barnstable County Complex on Route 6A.
The Assembly is seeking comments on suggested topics to be considered during the review.
Anyone wishing to testify will be welcome to do so during the hearing.
