City of Rockford Unveils iPod Application
December 10, 2009 1:51 pm City NewsThe City of Rockford is proud to announce that we have recently developed the first comprehensive municipal iPod Application in the country. The application can be downloaded free of charge from the iPod App Store by typing, Discover Rockford Michigan in the search engine.
This application provides information on shopping, dining, parks, Rockford Public School District, municipal services, and a wide variety of topics. There is even a section where residents and visitors can report a problem such as potholes, downed trees, or any other issue needing attention.
I would expect that we would provide a second update to this application early next year as new businesses sign up.

CNN just did an article on this topic today (http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/28/government.web.apps/index.html).
It is especially nice to have a local government that is forward thinking and willing to optimize its adoption of technology to promote greater interaction & input from its constituents.
Great work!

That’s a good idea Melissa. We have a link to the Chamber Page but maybe we can make it easier to find as part of our next update.
