Many governments today, whether they are local, state/provincial or federal, are becoming more proactive by increasing the level of services they offer to the public. There is an abundant amount of services that communities offer to the public, but the most vital one they can offer is a system of easily accessing community information.

Now there is a simple, affordable way to present everyone in your community with the information they need. Town-Know-It-All is a map-based application that contains a wealth of important, up-to-date information that is organized into a single web portal. Although the data within this application is limitless, some typical data includes information about schools, hospitals, businesses, road delays, political leaders, libraries, airports, emergency services, as well as many other points of interest.

It can retrieve information based on a civic address search, a search based on the name or type of a facility or by simply clicking a point on the map with a mouse. Users are also able to measure the distance from their location to the site they are inquiring about. By providing residents and businesses of a community with local information, citizens become more knowledgeable, and businesses improve their competitive position with neighboring communities by publicizing themselves to a large, targeted audience.

When community information is easily available, citizens can fully realize the benefits that their community has to offer. Not only does the accessibility of critical information create an extremely positive and forward-looking image of the community, but it also contributes to the economic, social and cultural development of that community.

The Greater Charlottetown Area implemented the Town-Know-It-All application, and the community has experienced remarkable results. To learn more on how Town-Know-It-All can bring an advantage to your community, read this whitepaper and case study.
