This blog (abridged from web log) is an ongoing communciation vehicle for the City of Columbia, Illinois, and is maintained through its Community & Economic Development Department.
Columbia is a city of about 10,000 in Monroe County, the southermost jurisdiction in what is typically considered Southwestern Illinois--also known in its St. Louis region as the Metro East. Columbia is a fast-growing municipality just across the Mississippi River (via the Jefferson Barracks Bridge) from the city and its suburbs.
The purpose of this blog is to increase communication between City officials and local citizens, as well as to increase civic involvement. Columbia is following the lead of a number of other municipal governments across the nation (see roll at right) in deploying a blog.
