The Strategic Map included in the Town Council 2024 Goals and Objectives includes five strategic pillars: Infrastructure, Information Governance, Fiscal Responsibility & Economic Opportunity, Healthy & Diverse Community, and Natural & Cultural Resources. The Information Governance pillar includes a call to “Ensure citizens have access and opportunity for feedback and engagement by employing modern communications strategies and tools.” The Interim Town Manager’s recent appointment of a new Public Communications Coordinator is one aspect of implementing this council objective. A second feature is the upcoming launch of a new communications platform developed by Zencity.
Zencity is an innovative platform designed to help local governments better understand and respond to their community's needs and concerns to make effective decisions. With comprehensive and proactive community input and sophisticated analytics, the new platform offers residents enhanced tools and engagement opportunities on local projects and issues. Through surveys, communications boards, and project updates, Zencity provides a new way for the Town of Cape Elizabeth to obtain community insight and feedback on residents’ concerns and priorities, ensuring active participation in the decision-making process.
As we develop this exciting new platform, we will post more projects and engagement tools. To stay informed and notified of project updates and/or calls for engagement, please sign up for notifications on the Engage Cape Elizabeth! site.
