Social Media

The rise in popularity of social media has brought about new worlds of opportunity, both in networking between private citizens, as well as a direct line of communication between local governments and the public it serves. In an ongoing effort to provide up-to-date information in a way that is as easily accessible as possible, Pitt County Government currently maintains accounts with the following social media platforms:
