MIDDLETOWN For Mayor Ben Florsheim, the use of virtual platforms is a way to “bring people together.”
To continue a practice of using such means that has become regular during the pandemic, Florsheim will be giving weekly updates on municipal matters on social media, as a way to connect with constituents as well as encourage more engagement surrounding city issues.
Prior to each month’s Common Council meeting, Florsheim holds a Facebook Live session during which he talks about that evening’s agenda. He announced the “exciting” development that these will now be done on a weekly basis to inform the public of topics of discussion, as well as field questions.
