Introducing the new City of Genoa web app! This new web app will allow the City to keep our app up to date with the latest information in a much more timely manner. Our new web app will deliver the same information available on our website and the old iOS and Android apps. The information will even be available if your device doesn’t have an Internet connection as long as you’ve viewed the page previously when your device was connected to the Internet.
If you have the current app installed on your phone that you downloaded from either the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store, you can delete that app from your phone and follow the instructions below to get our new web app on your phone.
