The City of Irving has been recognized as one of the most technologically advanced cities in the United States for the fifth consecutive year according to the 2009 Digital Cities Survey. Irving achieved its highest rating ever, placing third for cities in the 125,000 to 249,999 population category. In addition, Irving is the only Texas city to secure a top-10 spot in this category.
“Our goal has always been to provide the Irving community with access to the latest and most cutting-edge technology,” said Information Technology Department Director David Galvan. “We are delighted to be recognized for our investments in technology and we look forward to ensuring that technology continues to be used as a vehicle to improve the quality of life for our residents, visitors and businesses.”
The survey, which was conducted by the Center for Digital Government based in Sacramento, Calif., recognizes cities for their use of technology and examines how municipalities incorporate information technology into operations that better serve residents engaging with local government. All United States cities, towns, villages and consolidated city/county governments with populations of 30,000 or greater were invited to participate in this survey.
The City of Irving will officially be recognized for its achievement Nov. 12 at a special awards ceremony in San Antonio.
