More than 100 staff members from all departments have worked on this new website for about nine months with the leading government web solution developer, CivicPlus.  The County demoed the re-designed site in four different communities in April to get public feedback.

Overall, the new site received a 91 percent approval rating at that time. Since then, staffers have incorporated many of the resident’s suggestions, and the site is ready to go live. In the coming months, more convenient features will be added.
