In addition, the newsletter provides a vehicle for community-affiliated organizations to share news and events. Each edition is mailed to every residence and business in in the Village.

Social Media 

Facebook is our primary social media platform for the timely sharing of city events and accomplishments, and educating residents. The City also uses LinkedIn for professional updates, job postings and thought leadership, and Instagram to provide dynamic content and trending topics. “X” (formerly Twitter) is used primarily for emergency and crisis communication.

Our YouTube channel shares a variety of digital content created by NineNorth and the city's communications team. NineNorth provides coverage of local stories and events.
