GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids City Manager Mark Washington and Mayor Rosalynn Bliss will hold a digital town hall next week on the state of the city’s budget and services in response to COVID-19, according to a news release Thursday.

The town hall will take place 6 to 7 p.m. on May 6 on the city’s Facebook page and on the city’s Government Access Channel – Comcast 26.

Community members may submit questions during the event in three ways:

  • Comment on Facebook
