PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield has partnered with CivicPlus, a provider of integrated technology solutions exclusively for local governments, to launch a new, mobile- responsive, user-friendly municipal website.

 

Beginning on Monday, July 7, the new city website, www.pittsfieldma.gov will be live and available for use. Visitors to the old website will be redirected to the new website to view the most up to date content and resources. The city encourages the public to update their saved bookmarks to the new web address.

 

Looking forward, Mayor Marchetti says that its new CivicPlus website will be a tool that will continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of the community.

 

"This new website will allow Pittsfield to increase in resident engagement by offering fresh content with a layout that is easier to navigate," said Mayor Peter Marchetti.

 

"Working with CivicPlus, we were able to create a more accessible and mobile-friendly user experience that should make it easier for visitors to find relevant information quickly," said Kevin Zawistowski, chief information officer. "The dot gov (.gov) address change helps the city build trust and legitimacy in a time where it is very easy to imitate or spoof public government websites

and email."

 

Residents can sign up to receive press releases, agendas, page updates, alerts and more by using the Notify Me function on the new website. To sign up, click Stay Connected on the homepage and follow the steps on the Notify Me page.

 

In addition to the launch of a new municipal website, all email addresses for city employees will also have a new domain starting later this month. More information will be shared once this process is finalized.
