  Scottsdale’s Web site ranked among nation’s best

Scottsdale’s Web site is among the best for cities its size in the nation, according to the Center for Digital Government and Digital Communities Magazine.

Scottsdale placed ninth among cities with a population between 125,000 and 249,999 in this year’s survey, conducted by the center in partnership with the National League of Cities.

The annual survey evaluates how U.S. municipalities are integrating information technology into operations to better serve their citizens.

"This year's winners demonstrate how cities have faced economic challenges with creativity and innovation in the use of information technology," said Cathilea Robinett, executive director for the Center for Digital Government. "The Survey clearly shows that cities place a high value on positive experiences for their constituents when using government services. These winners are at the leading edge of the future in digital advances for citizens."

The survey was open to all U.S. cities with a population of 30,000 or more and respondent cities were classified into four size-based categories. Winners will be honored at a special awards ceremony in San Antonio, Texas, on Nov. 12.
