Council to Unveil New Chambers Monday Night
The council's chambers were renovated over the summer—the colorful artwork is gone, and technology has been upgraded.
The new Annapolis City Council Chambers will be shown off Monday just before the council's first session since their August recess.
The chambers underwent a massive renovation over the summer as part of an overhaul to City Hall. The chambers were updated with new technology, a new coat of paint, and streamlined visuals.
Two large, flat-screen televisions will be installed along the walls of the chambers—one angled toward the council, and one angled toward the audience.
Aspects of the renovation are being done to bring the chambers back to the era of Mayor John Chambers, the city's first African-American mayor. A display case will be installed in the back honoring his career, according to Public Works Director Jarrell.
