Gloucester County received a top-10 ranking among localities with up to 150,000 in population for the 2019 Digital Counties Survey conducted by the Center for Digital Government and the National Association of Counties.

Six Virginia counties made the top-10 list, with Montgomery County placing second, York County in a tie for third, Albemarle County placing fourth, James City County taking fifth, and Franklin County placing 10th.

Gloucester “jumped from 10th place to sixth place this year due to its relatively small IT staff’s bold commitment to expanding broadband access through its many communities, as well as their efforts to invest in migrating services and systems to the cloud,” the website stated.

The award recognized localities for their technology practices including initiatives that streamline delivery of government services, encourage openness/transparency, collaboration and shared services that enhance cyber security and contribute to disaster response and recovery efforts.

“Innovative counties across the U.S. are leveraging technology and data to complete unique projects that better serve citizens, save taxpayer money and protect data,” said Teri Takai, CDG executive director. “We congratulate this year’s winners for their accomplishments.”

This is the seventh time Gloucester has been noted for exemplary digital services through the Digital County Survey recognition, according to a county spokesperson. The Digital Counties Survey awards are presented in conjunction with the National Association of Counties annual conference planned for July.
