Welcome!

Greetings! Let me begin by expressing a sincere “thank you” for checking in on the inaugural post to the Roscommon Village Manager blog.

This blog is a great tool to update residents and visitors about Roscommon. The information discussed will not be limited to Village government, but will cover community promotion in general. Our blog has been created with the following purpose statement to guide it;

Purpose/Goals: The purpose and goals of the Roscommon Blog are as follows:
◘ Educate the public about the government of Roscommon
◘ Advocacy for the local business sector
◘ Promote the community and its residents
◘ Increase transparency and connection in and to local government via an open forum

Blogging in local government is a communication medium that is ahead of the bell-curve. Governmental websites are becoming very common, and a great means of gaining basic information about a community. But even great websites still lack in two-way communication and fresh content that promotes the community. We firmly believe that our website is an excellent gateway to gain relevant information regarding the Village from any location with a computer. It is our plan that by blogging, we will be able to enhance your online experience with the Village.

If you are interested in being a guest blogger, please let us know at the Village Hall. We are seeking guests to blog about their experience with the Village and highlight their experience with the community.

Also, I would direct any comments or questions about blog posts or Village events to be sent to my e-mail address, tom@roscommonvillage.com. In the near future, I would like to have a Q & A post to answer questions residents or visitors may have, so feel free to speak your mind!

That’s all for now, but check back soon as we will be working on frequent updates!
