On October 7, 2014, the City of West Hollywood launched its Innovation and Technology program, “WeHoX.” The core goals of WeHoX and the WeHoX Task Force are to
A. Enhance The City of West Hollywood’s capacity to utilize new and emerging technologies and innovations for the benefit of its residents, visitors and local businesses.
B. Celebrate the City’s regional leadership in civic innovation.
C. Promote local democracy and increase civic engagement,
D. Promote efficiency and effectiveness in government, and
E. Promote the local economy through leadership in civic innovation and technology.
The Task Force will be made up of leaders from the private sector working with City staff engaged in developing innovative civic programs.
The City of West Hollywood has already created award-winning civic innovations—from the nighttime circulator “PickUp” trolley developed to reduce drinking and driving, to state-of-the-art automated permitting systems—and we’re eager to tap into the Task Force’s expertise to plan more.
In order to accomplish these goals, we’ll conduct a series of “Innovation Salons”, the first of which took place on Tuesday, October 7th, 2014 at the West Hollywood Library.
Future meetings are scheduled for November 4 and December 2. For more information, please visit www.wehox.org
