City Communications

The City of Creswell believes that clear and concise communication between government agencies and their citizens is important. That is why we have established multiple different communication methods both online and offline to ensure that messaging reaches our residents whether they are at home on their computer or out on a stroll in the Creswell downtown area.

All social media and mobile phone communications are operated by the City of Creswell Administrative Assistant.
