Brimfield Community Access
Welcome to Brimfield Community Access (BCA) — The mission of BCA is to engage, empower, & enrich Brimfield through multimedia. The focus of recent BCA projects is to restore and improve the town’s ability to experience live video feeds and recordings of town meetings. We also aim to increase public participation and enable greater transparency in democracy.
We are highly dedicated to constantly improving; please check this page for the latest updates.
Our current projects include, but are not limited to:
- Restoring recording and broadcast capabilities after a protracted period of downtime.
- Updating very old recording infrastructure so that meetings are able to be recorded and broadcast in high fidelity.
- Implementing a mobile video unit for live video capture, streaming, recording, and editing of meetings and events.
- Inventorying and recycling years of outdated equipment, allowing us to reclaim valuable space in our studio.
- Finding and training additional staff to cover more meetings and events.
We are constantly seeking feedback from the community to improve and our Community Media Coordinator loves to hear from YOU!
