Description

The City of Raleigh is launching a redesigned website and invites residents to a live tour at the Optimist Park Community Center. This session provides an exclusive first look at the new platform before its official release to the public. Our goal is to ensure you know how to navigate the site effectively.

During this event, you will explore the updated features and improved navigation layout. We will demonstrate how to locate essential city services, submit requests, and find important local information quickly. Staff members will be available to walk you through the new tools, answer questions about functionality, and gather feedback on the user experience. You will gain hands-on familiarity with the digital resources that will soon power your interactions with city government.

This event is open to all community members who rely on RaleighNC.gov for city services. The environment will be informative and accessible for users of all technical skill levels. We encourage you to join us to see these improvements firsthand. Please mark your calendar and come prepared to engage with the new site design.
