BG Connect adds new way to communicate with village
Buffalo Grove officials unveiled a mobile app meant to enable residents to communicate with village government.
The application can be downloaded via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store using the search term BG Connect. This app was developed with the GIS Consortium.
Project Manager Evan Michel conducted a demonstration for village board members.
He said a resident could, for instance, use the app to report a pothole and even attach a picture to the message.
The app will not be able to handle certain situations, such as public safety emergencies.
He said, "We don't want someone's house burning down (and) they submit a BG Connect request instead of calling 911."
