Sites are judged on delivery of public services, efficiency, economy, and functionality for improved citizen access. Representatives from the Center for Digital Government and officials from the 2009 Best of the Web-winning state and local governments served as judges for this year’s competition.
“This skilled use of the Web embodies the spirit of the Best of Web awards and provides examples to state and local government leaders around the country on how to bring quality services to their citizens while containing costs,” said Cathilea Robinett, executive director of the Center for Digital Government.
