- Improved searchable databases ranging from open checkbook to property records.
- Enhanced site search functionality and simplified search for archived public meeting materials.
- Easier navigation including an "I Want To" tab that is a quick way of accessing the most popular information and pages, constituent drop-down menus and department topic area “buckets” for easier navigation.
- Improved transparency with municipal calendar and meeting agenda integration.
- Visual enhancements and simplified navigation of video archive.
- Added interactive mapping features using City of Worcester GIS and Google.
- Re-tooled online customer service center and new drop-off center appointment option.
