KANNAPOLIS ó Looking for new ways to interact with the public, the city has launched its own Facebook page.
A city press release called the new Web page part of “continued efforts to make communication with residents, businesses and potential newcomers as meaningful as possible.”
“What we are finding in general in the public relations arena is that social networking sites like Facebook are becoming increasingly important as a part of an overall communications strategy,” said Karen Whichard, communications director for Kannapolis. “Facebook will allow us to continue to find ways to establish two-way communication and interaction with stakeholders.”
The city’s page will include events, news and other items related to the various functions performed by the city. Users of facebook.com can search “Kannapolis, NC,” to make a friend request and join the city’s network.
