The mobile-friendly website helps connect
citizens to their county and allows access to important
information
Residents in search of breaking news about Lee County Road #925
bridge construction or the annual Youth Fishing Derby now have a
new source of information. The county launched its first-ever
website last week at http://leecounty.arkansas.gov. The website was
developed in partnership with the Information Network of Arkansas
(INA) and the Connect Arkansas e-Community Strategies Program.
LeeCounty.Arkansas.gov is a big step toward the county’s goal of
making local government services and information transparent and
accessible to the public. It uses responsive design technology,
which allows residents to view the site comfortably on computers,
smart phones, and tablets.
“We are pleased to launch a user-friendly website and provide
important county information to the public,” County Judge Jim
Keasler said. “In the future, we plan to add more online services
to the website to help our citizens engage with the county in a
convenient and efficient way.”
The website provides listings of county news and events, county
services, departments, officials and a personnel directory. Site
visitors can access online state government services including
criminal background record searches, vehicle registration tag
renewals, fishing licenses and government jobs.
LeeCounty.Arkansas.gov also allows visitors to signup and receive
email notifications for Morgan Nick / Amber Alerts, state inclement
weather notices, national and state terror threat level changes,
Arkansas state flag half staff alerts and more.
Website development was funded in part by a grant from Connect
Arkansas. INA built the website within a content management system
that enables Lee County staff to update site information. This
keeps Lee County tax funds available for use where they are truly
needed - to improve roads, for example - rather than for website
updates. Lee County residents have to love that.
