McALLEN, Texas – The City of McAllen will begin digitally surveying residents via cell phone and other digital devices using the Zencity Community Survey platform. The survey will appear to residents using digital ads in various locations such as social media platforms in both English and Spanish.
“We are always striving to get input from residents and this partnership with Zencity will be a great step toward directly collaborating with residents who can share their needs and concerns help us make the best decisions for the future of our city,” said McAllen Mayor Javier Villalobos.
“Zencity lowers barriers for residents to participate and enables us to create inclusive and collaborative digital spaces to help us better serve our residents,” said McAllen City Manager Roel “Roy” Rodriguez, P.E.
“Forward-thinking cities like McAllen understand that effective local government must make it easier for residents to participate and leverage data on their needs and priorities,” said Eyal Feder-Levy, CEO of Zencity.
The launch of the community survey is in partnership with Zencity, the community input platform used by local governments to hear from more residents and get meaningful and actionable insights. Zencity works with hundreds of municipalities across the U.S. including McAllen, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Seattle and San Diego on issues ranging from public safety to community programming.
The survey will be available year-round via cell phone advertisements, the City of McAllen website and social media platforms and can also be found here:
