Coconino County will celebrate National County Government Month (NCGM) during the month of April to showcase how the County achieves healthy, safe, and vibrant communities.
The theme for this year’s celebration of NCGM is “Counties Matter,” demonstrating how counties help to improve people’s lives every day, especially for local government workers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic.
Featured NCGM events include a virtual tour of Coconino County’s vaccination site and a showcase critical county services throughout the month of April, virtually on social media.
“Coconino County is proud of the programs and services we provide to our residents. Coconino County has been a leader in the state and country during the COVID-19 response. Coconino was the first in the State of Arizona to stand up a drive-through testing site. We also continue to lead the state in vaccination efforts,” said Coconino County Chair Matt Ryan. “Our efforts combined with efforts of counties across the country are helping American communities respond to public health needs and return to some sense of normalcy. I encourage all County residents to learn how the County works daily to assist you and your loved ones.”
Since 1991 the National Association of Counties (NACo) has encouraged counties across the country to raise public awareness and understanding about counties’ roles and responsibilities. Coconino County is excited to participate and celebrate National County Government Month.
