Metro 17 Valdosta Produces Community Engagement Video Series

The City of Valdosta is working to engage the community with a new video series 'Keeping You Informed'. The videos will be produced by the city's Metro 17 staff. The video series is aimed at educating citizens about different aspects of local government.

"We wanted a platform to educate citizens on specific issues. A lot of times there are things out there or programs out there that citizens don't know about, and we wanted another way to inform them of these programs," says Media Coordinator, Marcus McConico. "Things that will not only help our employees, but our city as a whole."

The series will spotlight issues throughout different departments in the city of Valdosta. 'Keeping You Informed' will be showcased on the city's website and on social media. The goal is to reach citizens and encourage them to follow the tips provided in the videos. The videos will be released every two weeks. Metro 17 partners with Valdosta State University student interns to produce the 'Keeping You Informed' videos.

To see the first episode featuring the city's FOG program, you can visit the Metro 17 section at the bottom of the City of Valdosta website.
