Hurricane City, UT faced the challenge of supporting residents during the COVID-19 pandemic, combating feelings of isolation caused by the loss of traditional social and recreational activities. The city's Recreation Department turned to vendor CivicPlus and utilized its Recreation Management software to find a safe way to re-engage the community.

The solution implemented with CivicPlus was the launch of a competitive esports league, managed and promoted through their recreation platform.
