What number do I call?

Many times, residents do not know which agency to call to get the information they are seeking.  The City of Longview has developed a brochure called “What number do I call?” that can connect residents with an agency, regardless of who’s responsible.  This helpful brochure is in its fifth printing and is a treasure trove of information.  The brochure is available online, or you may request a personal copy by calling 442-5022.
