Los Angeles, CA — Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn has launched two new dedicated Instagram accounts for the unincorporated communities she represents: one for Walnut Park (@walnutparkgov) and one for the unincorporated communities of greater Whittier (@unincorporatedwhittier), which include South Whittier, East Whittier, Northwest Whittier, and West Whittier-Los Nietos.
“Residents of cities across LA County have access to useful and important information through city social media channels: from street improvements and construction updates to resources and events. The residents that call Walnut Park and the unincorporated communities of Greater Whittier home should have that access too,” said Hahn. “Now they will.”
As unincorporated areas, the County of Los Angeles serves as the local government for these communities. Its various departments carry out street improvements, housing policy, local parks, libraries, and public safety functions, among others. The greater Whittier unincorporated communities are home to some 95,000 residents. Walnut Park is home to approximately 16,000.
The accounts, which will be managed by Hahn’s communications team, will feature updates and news from Hahn’s office, information on construction projects, information about County resources available to residents, events in and around the communities, and more.
