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.

It’s a field where I can contribute to long-term, meaningful change by helping our community grow in a way that is inclusive, efficient and resilient.”   Reidsville City Manager Summer Moore agrees.   “I have watched Drew grow in her chosen field, first as our City Planner and now as Director of our Planning & Community Development Department,” said Moore. “She has both the people skills and technical expertise to help the City of Reidsville grow for years to come.”   Drew and her husband, Michael, have lived in Rockingham County since April of 2022, with their four pets, including two dogs, a cat and a bearded dragon.
