Virginia is following U.S. President Barack Obama’s call for transparency by being among the first states to open the stimulus investment selection process to public participation at Stimulus.Virginia.gov.
eGovernment firm NIC partnered with the Commonwealth to develop and launch this new site which is powered by a web-based project submission form and an open policy to publish all data feeds. NIC currently manages the Commonwealth of Virginia’s website.
Stimulus.Virginia.Gov will serve as central portal and repository for citizens, groups, localities or others to submit proposals. Citizens are able to view proposals from the portal or through multiple downloadable formats to encourage greater civic participation.
