Modern Civic Engagement: Government Communications as Customer Service

In today's "new normal," residents have the same expectations for their local government as they do for any modern business. They expect on-demand access, mobile convenience, and high-quality customer service. To meet these demands, cities must move beyond static websites and embrace a user-first digital strategy.
