Community Remarks™ is an application that seamlessly integrates into your website and is managed by PlaceVision so you don’t have to worry about supporting or maintaining it. Drag and drop functionality places content in the desired location on the map. Citizens can also add images to their comments which are displayed and monitored in real-time.

The City of Buffalo was able to capture meaningful comments from citizens who were not able to attend meetings. The comment map helped to generate buzz on social media channels and was an effective way to drive traffic to the website and increase interest in zoning. The map provided the opportunity to see and insert comments in real-time during workshops.

Many communities are discovering the power of Community Remarks™ to generate meaningful and helpful citizen comments during the community engagement phases of a planning project.

Here are some places using Community Remarks™:

Algonquin, IL
Ann Arbor, MI
Buffalo, NY
Elgin, IL
Forsyth, IL
Lake Villa, IL
Northbrook, IL
Plainfield, IL
Rockford, IL

Several communities are using the application for a contest:
