Minutes and Recordings

The Town of Crewe understands that citizens want to be engaged, but cannot always make it to a public meeting. That's why the minutes of public meetings can be found by following the link below. Additionally, Council records each regular meeting and uploads the video to YouTube, generally within a week of the meeting date. Links to those meetings can be found on the same page.

The Town of Crewe has also partnered with Virginia Tech to digitize old minute books dating back to the late 19th century. Look for images of those historic minutes at the link below as they are made available.
