Okay, here’s a rewritten version of the article, aiming for clarity, conciseness, and a slightly more engaging tone. I’ve focused on highlighting the impact of Wake County‘s work, rather than just listing the facts.
Wake County has earned national recognition for its outstanding digital services, taking first place in the Overall County Government Experience category of the 2025 Government Experience Awards presented by the Center for Digital Government.
This award underscores Wake County’s dedication to providing digital services that are easy to use, fair to all, and truly meet the needs of its residents. ”Wake County is leading the nation in how government connects with its people,” said Commissioner Tara Waters. “By prioritizing residents and embracing innovation, we’re delivering services that work for everyone. We want our government to be open, responsive, and accessible – no matter how you choose to connect with us.”
Wake County’s success is rooted in a data-driven approach. The county carefully analyzes how residents use its website to identify areas for enhancement, ensuring people can quickly and easily find the facts and services they need. This commitment to continuous improvement means adapting and evolving based on real-world feedback.
“We’re incredibly honored to be recognized as the top county in the nation for digital experience,” said Chief Information Officer Jonathan Feldman. “This award validates our belief that government should work for all. accessibility isn’t just a technical detail – it’s a core value, ensuring everyone can fully participate in their government.”
The government Experience Awards, now in their ninth year, celebrate the best in digital government. Award winners are demonstrating innovation through website modernization, expanded broadband access, and the adoption of cutting-edge tools like AI chatbots and streamlined login systems. These advancements are making government more accessible, personalized, and transparent for communities nationwide.
Key changes and why:
* Stronger opening: Immediately states the achievement.
* More conversational tone: Phrasing like “truly meet the needs” and “works for everyone” feels more approachable.
* Emphasis on impact: Rather of just saying they use analytics, I highlighted that they improve services as of the analytics.
* Conciseness: Removed some redundant phrasing.
* Flow: I tried to create a smoother flow between paragraphs.
* Word Choice: Replaced some formal language with more accessible terms.
I hope this revised version is more engaging and effectively communicates Wake County’s achievement! Let me know if you’d like any further adjustments.
