PAWTUCKET — The city has launched a new website.

The new site, designed by GLAD WORKS Inc. of Pawtucket at no cost to the city, enables the online payment of water bills, vehicle tax, real estate tax and other city bills. It has been designed to serve as a resource for information on city departments, procedures, activities and more.

The launch of this website, said Rico Votta, the city's communications and constituent services officer, goes a long way toward helping to make government more accessible to everyone so that they can "Join the Evolution."

“The new web platform will increase accessibility and ease of use for everyone looking to find out more information about the city,” Mayor Donald R. Grebien said. “I am also keenly aware that for potential companies and businesses looking at Pawtucket, our website is the first impression they will get of our great city and we certainly want to put our best foot forward.”

“Our team has been very excited at the opportunity to collaborate with the City of Pawtucket on this new website ... especially as it also highlights their recently debuted brand atop a technology platform which makes them more accessible to the community,” said GLAD WORKS founder and creative director Gina DiSpirito.

The new website is at www.pawtucketri.com
