Little Compton to move town services and email to littlecompton.gov, add resident listserv
Summary
Town staff said the municipality will consolidate email and web services under a verified .gov domain on 2026-01-01 to increase security and unify access, and will launch a subscription listserv for residents.
Town staff told the council the town will consolidate its core online services under the verified .gov domain littlecompton.gov effective Jan. 1, 2026, moving departments (town hall, DPW, police, fire) onto a single secure domain and making a unified point of contact for resident email and website access.
Jonathan, speaking with council, said the move is primarily about security and trust: only verified government entities can obtain and use .gov domains, which helps residents know they are communicating with official accounts. The migration will centralize device updates, allow stronger antivirus and network protections, and create redundancy between departments. Existing addresses will continue to function indefinitely, but littlecompton.gov will become the town’s primary identity.
Staff also said the town will launch a community listserv so residents can subscribe to receive town meeting notices, event announcements and other official communications.
Why it matters: A verified .gov domain increases cybersecurity protections for municipal communications and creates a single, official digital identity for residents to rely on.
