Redesigned OKC.gov to launch May 16

The redesigned okc.gov will launch May 16, making access to City of OKC services and information easier on a mobile-friendly and modern website. The website is getting its first major redesign since the last millennium, and the launch of the redesigned site will coincide with the rollout of a new mobile app with closer integration with the Action Center. An update on the project provided at Tuesday's Council meeting focused on the ways the site will be easier for residents to use.
