LA PLATA, Md. – Charles County Government is proud to announce the launch of a new digital community engagement website to foster trust and collaboration with the local community. This new website, named “Stay Engaged, Charles County,” serves as a vital channel for residents to actively participate in shaping the future of their county by sharing their insights, concerns, and ideas on upcoming plans and initiatives.
With “Stay Engaged, Charles County,” Charles County Government establishes interactive engagement options on local projects, connecting residents with comprehensive information and directly asking for their valuable input.
In preparation for launching this expanded tool, Charles County Government has used the Engage platform to enhance communications for the fiscal 2025 budget cycle and begin the stakeholder engagement process for the new Sports and Wellness Complex located at St. Charles Towne Center.
“We are always striving to engage with more of our residents, and this new tool is designed to promote two-way dialogue, encourage feedback, and strengthen trust between residents and county government,” stated Deborah E. Hall, Acting County Administrator. “The official launch of this website is a significant step toward directly collaborating with our community to bring their needs and concerns to the fore, helping us make the best decisions for the future of our county.”
This tool builds on a digital platform supported by Zencity that the county acquired in 2022 to facilitate feedback from more residents and get meaningful and actionable insights. This new tool component, a community engagement website, will inform and gather input from residents in up to 27 languages and make it easier for residents to participate—on their own time, from wherever is convenient.
Residents are encouraged to use “Stay Engaged, Charles County” to learn more about current and upcoming projects in the county. Click here to view the Charles County Engage page.
