End-of-July Edition |

Woodward has launched major digital upgrades for residents, debuting the MyAccount feature and a 311 CRM system on its official website. With MyAccount, users create personal profiles to customize notifications, track service requests, and receive updates specific to their interests. The 311 CRM tool streamlines how residents report non-emergency issues such as potholes, graffiti, or streetlight outages, connecting them directly with city departments for faster response.
These tech improvements arrive as the city advances several community projects. The Flourishing Main Street initiative, backed by a Keep Oklahoma Beautiful grant, will install self-watering planters downtown to boost visual appeal. Meanwhile, the West Woodward Airport is undergoing a $3.7 million terminal upgrade, and the city secured an $11.34 million loan to modernize water and wastewater systems.
Officials encourage residents to engage with these new online tools, helping shape Woodwardâs future through streamlined communication and active civic participation. Read More... |
