Hilliard is an intelligent, tech-savvy community on a global scale.

Earlier this year, the City was named a Top7 Intelligent Community of the Year by the Intelligent Community Forum. The honor distinguishes Hilliard as a model of economic and social transformation in the 21st century and a leader in advocacy, innovation, broadband development, and digital inclusion. ICF acknowledges Hilliard as a world-class community charting new paths to lasting growth and prosperity.

So what’s next? The City is now in the running to earn the distinction of Intelligent Community of the Year, which will be announced in October.

To inform their decision, ICF is touring the Top7 communities and the City was pleased to host Matt Owen, Executive Director of ICF, on a tour of Hilliard this week.
