Column launches new Florida site!

Column recently launched a new and improved Florida Public Notice website for the Florida Press Association! Thank you to all FPA members for working diligently throughout the transition. This new site offers some of the most comprehensive features available for searching public notices online. Over the next two months, Column and FPA will be releasing a new suite of reporting dashboards to measure the overall impact of the public notice website and meet compliance standards set by Florida's new regulatory requirements.

Together, the FPA and Column will continue delivering innovative technology to protect and enhance the vital role of public notice.
