Over the past year, here at Salina311 we've seen our subscriber base grow by ~95% and our revenue increase by 108%. It was a significant year for us, and we're grateful for the support from the Salina community.
When we started 311 the idea was to focus on the stories and information within Saline County. In doing so, we wanted to create a flywheel effect: Connect community members, keep the revenue local, then put the resources back to work in the community – then repeat.
In 2024, we're putting our growth in resources back to work in the community.
