The city of Union City Georgia’s mobile reporting application, ‘UC Connection’, goes online Thursday, Jan. 16, according to a press release. In an effort to improve the quality of service for its 21,000 residents, the ‘UC Connection’ App will help Union City government and residents build a more transparent, collaborative, and engaged community, according to city officials.

Powered by SeeClickFix, it will be available for download on the App Store and the Google Play Store.

UC Connection is designed to help residents collaborate with local government to improve their neighborhoods. The app will be the best way to report illegal dumping, potholes, graffiti, and other non-emergency related issues.

With a touch of a finger, residents will be able to report quality of life issues directly with their smartphone. By offering a user-friendly interface, UC Connection provides a more convenient way to upload photos, videos, and specific descriptions – valuable information needed to expedite tasks to appropriate departmental groups.

In addition, the SeeClickFix platform will provide administrators with a centralized issue management system to manage reports from start to finish. With the assistance of this new application, city leaders can make informed decisions, detect themes in developmental needs and report on progress to its community and constituents.

A free training class will be held 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16 at the Gathering Place, 6280 Bryant Street, Union City.
