City of Havre de Grace Joins Twitter

Follow Havre de Grace on Twitter via @havredegrace.

A City Council meeting in Havre de Grace usually lasts 102 minutes; at least, that's been the average length so far in 2013.

Can the city be more concise? #Yes!

On Tuesday, the city sent its first official tweet into cyberspace, using the Twitter handle @havredegrace.

Tweets must be no longer than 140 characters, and Havre de Grace joins many other government agencies that are increasingly relying on Twitter and its brief messages as a way to keep citizens informed.

The Havre de Grace Police Department joined Twitter in May, using the handle @HdGPolice.
