NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to our new subscribers from American City & County!
American City & County is joining forces with Smart Cities Dive to continue its work under the Smart Cities Dive brand. Both publications became part of Informa TechTarget when that company started in December.
On the Smart Cities Dive website, you’ll find content from American City & County, including the Municipal Cost Index and AC&C’s long-running awards programs, the Crown Communities Award and the Exemplary Public Service Award. Together, we will continue to deliver award-winning journalism on top local government concerns, including public safety, transportation, housing, climate and resilience, technology and governance and finance.
Our goal is to remain local government leaders’ trusted resource for news and information. What issues do you think are most important for the newly combined team to address? Let us know by contacting us at smart.cities.dive.editors@industrydive.com.
