1997 WINNER

The City of Fairfax, Va., won an Innovation Award for its "Electronic

Community: Linking Citizens and Government" program. Being a highly educated

and involved community, the city provided the means for connecting its

residents, businesses, and schools to the local government. Through the aid

of a consultant and the development of a Technology Committee, Fairfax was

able to achieve its goals of becoming an "electronic community," or a

seamless community in which every citizen and every service is

interconnected.
