. . .get text messages or emails when there are road closures in my neighborhood.
The Morgantown Utility Board (MUB) posts a weekly work list at http://mubtraffic.wordpress.com/. Most days, MUB sends out notices about what roads are closed, and for how long.
To sign up for these Morgantown NIXLE alerts, simply text "MORGANTOWN" to 888777 from your mobile phone. You can also sign up online by going to the Nixle Sign Up Page. You can even specify what part of town you live in so that you don't get notices for every road closure in town – just the ones near your home or work!
. . .find out what new construction or zoning changes are happening in my neighborhood.
Each month, the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Planning Department publish a list of building and zoning applications, which we call Neighborhood Notices. Click here to access this month's Neighborhood Notices.
