[ARCHIVED] Hampton named one of the nation's top "digital" cities

Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013 – For the 12th time in 13 years Hampton has been named one of the most technology-advanced cities in the nation by the Center for Digital Government.

Hampton tied for fifth place (with Fort Collins, Colo.) in an annual survey of cities with a population of 125,000-249,999. Richmond and Alexandria were the other Virginia cities among the top 10 in the same population group.

“This continues a long tradition of excellence in technology in Hampton,” said Leslie Fuentes, director of information technology for Hampton. “All our departments contributed to getting us to this point through their innovative thinking and willingness to embrace new technology to better serve our citizens.”
