The nation's most innovative and robust city and county government Web sites have been named by the Center for Digital Government in its 2004 Best of the Web contest, an annual competition attracting hundreds of entries each year.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas said the county's first-place win is a testament to the hard work and dedication put forth by his staff. "I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Judy Zito, our chief information officer, for her exceptional leadership and guidance, ensuring that the idea of providing county services without boundaries became a reality," said Mayor Penelas.
The Center's executive director and one of the contest judges, Cathilea Robinett, believes city and county government Web sites outdid themselves this year.
"Clearly, local government leaders have invested a lot of time and resources into building these fabulous sites for the sake of their citizens," she said. "My hat's off to all of these local jurisdictions for making the citizen-to-government experience a pleasant one."
The Center for Digital Government will open its 10th annual Best of the Web contest in April 2005. For more information on the contest or the Center for Digital Government, contact Rhonda Wilson, communications director, at 916/932-1321.
