Hamilton County among best in country for digital access

The Center for Digital Government (CDG) and the National Association of Counties (NACo) have announced the top 10 cities in five population categories of the 20th annual Digital Counties Survey. The nationwide survey, developed in partnership with NACo, and conducted by CDG, identifies the best technology practices among U.S. counties, including initiatives that streamline delivery of government services; encourage collaboration; enhance cybersecurity and apply innovative and emerging technologies to county priorities.

Hamilton County placed seventh in the 150,000 to 249,999 population category. No other Indiana county earned a top 10 placement among any population category.

“Our nation’s top counties continue to succeed and deliver on key services, breaking down barriers to broadband connectivity and accessibility, building upon innovative and smart initiatives that enable government to better plan for and protect their citizens, constituents, and assets,” CDG Vice President Brian Cohen. “The Center for Digital Government is excited to recognize and congratulate this year’s winners for their accomplishments and continuing efforts to use technology to make government better.”

“In our increasingly complex world, counties are using technology to pursue bold, cutting-edge approaches to serving our residents,” NACo Executive Director Matthew Chase said. “From broadband accessibility to public health and safety, from transportation to community development and much more, technology plays a key role in helping our counties thrive. We applaud this year’s Digital Counties Survey winners for their leadership, innovation and expertise in leveraging technology to achieve county goals.”
