New Communication tool: TextMyGov
The Town of Searsmont is thrilled to introduce TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will enable residents to effortlessly receive important notifications and easily find specific information by texting the Town.
The Town will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public mid-December. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the Town initiating the service. You can choose to opt-out at any time by texting STOP.
If you don’t receive the initial message, you can choose to opt-in by texting the keyword “SEARSMONT” to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm opt-in. Residents may receive notification for events, cancellations, closures, etc.
Also, starting soon, residents will be able to receive on-demand information 24/7 by texting 1-2 keywords to the city’s TextMyGov number, 207-306-2593. You’ll be able to get quick information about roads, meetings, closures and other Town information.
The Town’s use of this technology is another example of how our community enhances resident services by implementing 21st century solutions. We’re excited about this new way of communication with residents and look forward to sharing important Town notifications. Other governmental entities across the country and in Maine are utilizing this system with great success. Stay informed, stay ahead.
Sincerely, Gail Gary-Cox, Administrator Assistant
Kathy Hoey, Interim Town Clerk
