FOIA: Williamsburg City Council Tours Live Performance Venue in Omaha

Trips in 2023, conducted in pairs, were “due diligence” research for a local venue in City near the new sports complex

Information obtained as part of a Freedom of Information request (FOIA) indicates that between September 2023 and October 2023, members of the Williamsburg City Council traveled to tour a music venue in Omaha, Nebraska called the The Astro. Graciously, the City provided the information in response to the FOIA request at no cost.

The City’s response indicates that in several instances, Council Members traveled two-at-a-time and on sequential dates. Multiple representatives of the City didn’t respond to follow-up emails requesting an explanation as to why the Council did not travel as a group for the tours.
