Citizens can find the app in the iTunes store or Google Play store under the name "City of Tampa." "Technology plays a critical role in the economic future of our City. That's why I am committed to modernizing our infrastructure, bringing free Wi-Fi to our urban parks, and making the City more user friendly through apps like this," said Mayor Bob Buckhorn. "The app puts city services and City Hall at the fingertips of residents."

Official press releases, events, employment opportunities as well as contact information for each department within the City of Tampa are all available on the app. Residents can also follow Mayor Buckhorn and the City of Tampa along on social media. The app was developed in-house by City of Tampa staff at no additional cost to taxpayers. CC AutoTriage10PkS-140109-30TacordaCheng-4595600 30TacordaCheng (c) 2014 Targeted News Service |
