On Monday, Oct. 26 we launched a new website to better serve our diverse audiences and more easily connect community members with City information and services.
Why a New Website?
Our old website was very outdated with limited layout and accessibility capabilities making information hard to find. Communicating and engaging with the public is a high priority for the City Council, which is why they are using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding from the federal government to help redesign the website. This project will make it easier for everyone to connect with the city online.
