Every large firm and many a small company has gone to the Internet to tout their business. Government has followed. States, cities and counties all have web pages on the Internet. School systems, hospitals and chambers of commerce have joined the parade, developing pages aimed at promoting themselves.
Local government is no exception.
Commerce has a web site. The Commerce and Banks County school systems have web pages, BJC Medical Center is on the web, and the local chambers of commerce have developed web pages on the Internet. But it's still a new medium for promotion, and the web pages reflect a struggle to find and keep pertinent information on the site. Most of the emphasis appears to be aimed at visitors from afar, while little information of interest to the current resident is available. Often the information is outdated, like the Commerce city web site, which contains a calendar that ends in April 1999.
