The county placed seventh in the 500,000 or more population category. The full list is at www.centerdigitalgov.com. The top-10 will be honored at NACo’s Annual Conference next month in Honolulu, Hawaii. “Our county’s website and e-government initiatives are a critical part of our delivery of services to residents of Westchester County,” said County Executive Andy Spano. That’s the reason why our logo is Westchestergov.com and why a majority of Westchester adults have used e-government services.”
“With a backdrop of a very complex government and media environment here, we have had to work creatively and use a variety of technologies to make an impact and improve services for the people of Westchester,” said Chief Information Officer Norm Jacknis. “It is very satisfying to see our efforts recognized on a national level.”
In April, all counties in the U.S. were invited to participate in the 2005 Digital Counties Survey. Officials responded to 22 questions that included more than 95 measurements or data points. The survey grouped counties into four population categories and established a top-10 ranking for each category.
“It is a pleasure to acknowledge and showcase our nation’s most digitally-advanced county governments,” said Cathilea Robinett, executive director of the center. “Local governments are to be commended for their ambitious efforts, accomplishments and outstanding customer service.”
