New Jersey is home to 565 municipalities and a similarly large number of municipal websites. That’s why West Windsor officials are beaming after learning that their website, www.westwindsornj.org, has been named one of the 10 best municipal websites in the state.
The Monmouth University Polling Institute and the Graduate Program in Public Policy launched an E-government project to examine how New Jersey municipalities use their websites to inform citizens, provide services, and encourage public engagement. A total of 540 municipal websites were analyzed for availability of content and ease of use.
West Windsor received high marks in nearly every category and was noted for online access to citizen transactions. Said Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh: “I am proud that our website has been recognized. Continuing improvements are ongoing and suggestions from the public, our township volunteers, and council are always welcome.”
An awards event will be held at Monmouth University on Thursday, March 21.
