Communications director outlines newsletter, community events and county website redesign; SPLOST project reporting to follow
Summary
Glynn County communications reported exceeding community engagement event targets, launched a quarterly internal/external newsletter, worked with the City of Brunswick on joint projects and is redesigning the county website to surface SPLOST project reporting.
Glynn County’s communications office reported an uptick in community engagement events, plans for a quarterly county newsletter and work on a website redesign that will make SPLOST project information more prominent.
Katie Boson, communications director, said staff used a baseline of 22 community engagement events and have exceeded that number. Boson said the communications team is producing both internal and external quarterly newsletters; the internal newsletter looks forward to items in the next quarter and the external newsletter is intended to make county activity easier for residents to follow.
Boson said communications has partnered with the City of Brunswick public-information staff on joint projects—example topics included school-related outreach and animal services—and that media engagement activities such as roundtables and story pitches are ongoing. She asked commissioners for input on adding a chairman’s or commissioners’ corner to the newsletter.
The administration also said SPLOST project reporting is now available online through an OpenGov/AchieveIt integration and staff are planning public SPLOST open houses in September to give residents a chance to review project status and ask questions.
