According to an Alachua County press release, the Community Hub will serve as a centralized online resource where residents can stay informed about transportation, animal services, economic development, the county budget, public safety, environmental protection, food access, career opportunities and other county programs.

Modeled after the county’s Strategic Guide, the Community Hub organizes information into user-friendly sections that help explain complex topics through project timelines, images, detailed descriptions, resource links and other supporting information.

The platform is intended to improve transparency and strengthen communication between the county government and residents by making information more accessible and easier to navigate.

“This platform is designed to increase transparency and improve community engagement by giving residents a convenient place to access information and follow projects,” Alachua County Public Information Officer Andrew Caplan said in a press release.

Residents can also subscribe to individual microsites to receive notifications when new information and project updates become available.

For more information about the Community Hub, contact Alachua County Communications Director Mark Sexton at 352-283-2317 or msexton@alachuacounty.us.
