Virginia Beach Expands Their Community Engagement Reach

The City of Virginia Beach, the most populous urban area in Virginia, faced the challenge of expanding its reach and increasing the accessibility of public involvement for its various projects. To address this, the city began using the PublicInput Platform to engage its community stakeholders in a more meaningful way.

PublicInput provided a mixed-mode solution combining virtual and traditional engagement tactics. This approach allowed residents to participate through multiple, familiar channels. As a result, the City of Virginia Beach expanded its community engagement reach by 800%, growing from its initial 2018 success to reach over a million people. The vendor's platform also helped the city sustain this growth by establishing a consistent cross-departmental approach and building a notifyable contact list.
