Benton Harbor Commission Chambers approves tech upgrades

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. -- A series of technology upgrades have been approved by the Benton Harbor Commission Chambers.

City commissioners passed a $67,000 plan to purchase new technology such as microphones and cameras to improve meeting communication abilities.

Initial complaints surrounding the plan revolved around the city using funds from the American Rescue Plan for the upgrades.

Despite the complaints, officials determined that the new technology was a necessary cost.

A five-year website redesign was also approved at the cost of $3,700 per year.
