TEXTCASTER

In an effort to improve communication with Village residents, the Village has chosen the TextCaster messaging program to broadcast timely information. This program is a web-based application that allows Village personnel to broadcast content to many people simultaneously across multiple delivery methods. Residents can elect to receive text messages on a cellular telephone or an e-mail to a chosen e-mail account.

Individuals wishing to receive information from the Village need only to select the topics they wish to receive information about by following the subscription prompts. You can also receive National Weather Service alerts through this service. This system will also be used to contact residents in the event of an emergency. The reverse 9-1-1 system previously provided by the McHenry County Emergency Telephone System Board has been discontinued due to the migration of County residents to wireless telephone versus landlines.

WELCOME TO THE VILLAGE OF CARY

The Village of Cary recently put together the finishing touches on a new promotional video for the community. The video has been a project spearheaded by the Village's Economic Development Task Force over the past year and was produced by Waysound Recording. It will be utilized for economic development and marketing purposes and provides a quick overview of the many benefits Cary has to offer to potential residents and businesses. The video can be found on YouTube. Highlights include the multitude of recreational activities available locally, recent community rankings, business environment, local school system, and community events which are held throughout the year. The video can be viewed by the following link: (Welcome to Cary, Illinois). Feel free to share with others and help promote Cary.
