CONNECT-CTY MASS COMMUNICATION SERVICE
June 3, 2008 - The City of Forney has implemented the Connect-CTY service to provide city officials the ability to communicate with residents during time-sensitive situations, such as unforeseen public safety matters. Although publicly available primary residential and business phone numbers will automatically be included in the system, we are holding a city-wide data drive to urge residents and businesses to opt-in and provide their complete information (up to three phone numbers and two e-mail addresses).
Residents and businesses may enter their information into the secure database by clicking on the link to the right that says “SIGN UP NOW – SERVICES BY CONNECT-CTY.” Residents and businesses with call blocking services can make sure to receive the city’s time-sensitive calls by adding (972) 564-7300 to their approved number list.
For more information on the Connect-CTY system, please contact Blackboard Connect at (818) 808-1789.
