The Office of City Manager is responsible for the effective administration and operation of all municipal services for the City of Newport. In addition, the office oversees all redevelopment and economic development. The City Manager also tracks the progress of various projects, monitors the day-to-day activities of city departments and maintains intergovernmental relationships with the federal, state and other local governments.

The City uses various methods to communicate with the citizens, such as televised city commission meetings, neighborhood meetings, newsletters, and local newspapers. The Internet is another medium in which the City can provide and receive information from our citizens.

The City of Newport is committed to supporting the interests of its residential and corporate citizens though a wide range of municipal services. Our World Wide Web project reflects our commitment to the rapidly evolving information needs of Newport’s citizens and employers. Our aim is to address three basic needs:

• Provide direct contact to city staff

• Provide a "one-stop" source for city information

• Promote our assets to developers, businesses, and residents seeking an attractive spot for business development or relocation

As you view these pages, let us know what you think. If you have a particular comment or suggestion about a city service, please share your thoughts with us so we may get back to you.

Again, thanks for dropping in; enjoy your stay, and visit us often!
