"Reidsville Connect" App Offers More Features

The City of Reidsville is always looking for effective ways to get information out to its residents, many of which look to different sources for their news and upcoming events. One way the City has tackled this problem has been to re-energize its Reidsville Connect app.

First offered in 2013, the Reidsville Connect app for residents’ phones was primarily used as a way for citizens to report issues, but the latest version by a new vendor offers so much more. However, if you had the old Reidsville Connect, you must delete it and install the new version from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Residents can still report issues and the complaint or observation will go to the corresponding department. A tree down on the greenway? Let Reidsville Connect know. A manhole cover is off kilter on a roadway? Let Reidsville Connect know.

But the app is also a great resource for information about the City. This information is linked to the City website and constantly updated and maintained. With a touch of the screen, you can find out more about …

• Recreation: Highlights the City’s parks and trails, Lake Reidsville and Lake Hunt and area sports and club facilities.

• Attractions: Focuses on not only City offerings but also local organizations, businesses and area tours on downtown murals, Roam Reidsville Art & History and the Rockingham County Quilt Trail.

• Downtown Businesses: Learn what’s available in Reidsville’s beautiful downtown area.

• City Departments: Get contact information on the City’s various departments.

• City Council: Easy access to learn who your elected officials are, when the governing board meets and its meeting minutes as well as the local Code of Ordinances.

• Utilities: New to the area and don’t know who to get water connected or pay your water bill? This information will help.

• Document Center: This button redirects you to the City’s Document Center, which has several forms that our citizens may need.

• Team Reidsville: Visitors are directed to recent blog posts done by Team Reidsville that are located on the City’s tourism site, riseupreidsville.com.

• Social Media: If you are connected to social media, a click of this button will send you to the City’s social media sites, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (now officially known as “X”) and YouTube.

• Notifications: Learn the latest CodeRED alerts that have gone out or sign up for CodeRED.

So, whether you have used the app before or are a first-time user, go to the App Store or Google Play Store and download the new “Reidsville Connect”.
