Utah.gov Named Top Government Website

Utah's government website, http://www.utah.gov/, has been named the top state government website by the Center for Digital Government.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports: "In the competition, state, county and city Web sites are judged on qualities such as innovation and delivery of public services. Utah.gov also took first place in the contest in 2003."

The Center for Digital Government website provides this information:

The Best of Web is an annual awards program that recognizes the most innovative, user-friendly state and local government portals. This national awards program judges state, city and county Web sites on their innovation, Web-delivery of public services, efficiency, economy, and functionality for improved citizen access.

Cathilea Robinett, Center Executive Director of the Center, offered these enthusiastic words of praise "2007 was an amazing year for our Best of Web and Digital Government Achievement Awards. The competition was fierce and there were many applications and portals that were top notch. It's clear that America's state and local governments are unrelenting in their pursuit of excellence for the citizens they serve."
