WESTFORD CENTER — The Town has launched an official Instagram account designed to strengthen communication with residents and provide timely updates on community news, events and town operations.
The new account, @westfordma_gov, will serve as a supplemental platform for sharing town announcements, upcoming public meetings, seasonal reminders, community events and highlights from across town departments. The goal is to make information more accessible and engaging through visual content and quick updates, according to a town news release.
Town officials emphasized that while Instagram will provide fast, digestible updates and visual storytelling, the town’s official website will remain the primary and most comprehensive source for public information, including official notices, meeting materials, agendas and detailed records.
The town encouraged residents to follow the account to stay connected with local happenings and to engage with community-focused content as it is posted. The platform is intended to complement, not replace, existing communication channels such as the town website, public meetings and the WestfordCAT news show and The Westford Villager.
The launch is part of a broader effort to improve civic engagement and ensure residents have multiple ways to access information about town government and community life.
The town’s first Instagram post can be viewed here.
