The Village of Grandview is pleased to announce the launch of TextMyGov, a simple communication tool that allows residents to receive important updates and access information anywhere using texting technology. This new government SMS service makes it easier than ever for the community to stay informed through a reliable text message from government officials.
The village will officially launch this mass text notification system on July 16th. Residents may receive an initial government text message from 91896 on behalf of the village to introduce the service. Participation is optional, and anyone may opt out at any time by texting STOP.
If you do not receive the initial message, you can sign up by texting the keyword “GRANDVIEW” to 91896. After sending the keyword, you will be asked to reply YES to confirm participation. Once subscribed, residents may receive government text messages related to events, important updates, emergency information, weather text alerts and more. Additional text message alerts may become available by texting a specific group keyword to 91896. If there are specific types of updates you would like to receive, please inform the village.
Residents will also have access to information 24/7 by texting one or two keywords in your question to the village telephone number, 217.280.8662. This option allows users to quickly receive a government message with details about services, offices, community resources, and other important village information. Next time you have a question for the village, try texting this number to test out the service.
The Village of Grandview’s adoption of TextMyGov reflects an ongoing commitment to improving public communication using modern and convenient tools. This service will provide a more accessible and responsive way to stay informed about what is going on in the community and receive government services. Many agencies nationwide are already using this texting technology successfully, and we are proud to offer the same benefits to our community.
Sincerely,
Deanna Harton
