Atlantic County launched a new website to improve access to services and programs, County Executive Dennis Levinson said.
The new site at www.atlanticcountynj.gov cost $100,000 through a purchasing agreement with SHI.
It features improved navigation, is mobile-friendly, secured for user privacy protection and makes accessibility a priority, the county announced in a news release.
“The county website is an important resource and communication tool for our residents and visitors,” Levinson said. "More and more business is conducted online. Our goal is to make these interactions as easy and productive as possible. We believe the new site will greatly enhance these efforts.”
The new website utilizes a content management system and is organized by five main categories: government, residents, visitors, business and services.
Visitors to the site will find information about county events and meetings, along with county facilities such as county parks, the Justice Facility, Meadowview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and the Central Municipal Court.
It also has job openings and job training opportunities; emergency and financial assistance programs; health and public safety; press releases and traffic advisories; infrastructure improvements; bid opportunities, and community resources.
The previous site attracted more than 450,000 users in 2023, with 1.5 million page views.
“We expect to exceed those numbers in 2024 with our new website, based on the positive feedback we have received thus far,” Levinson said.
Those who would like to receive notification as information is added may sign up for email subscription service. Previous subscribers are asked to re-register in the new system.
