The City of New York will release public information to citizens through the hyperlocal social network Nextdoor, the city and company announced today.

“Nextdoor gives New York neighbors an easy way to connect and communicate with those who live around them. It also provides the City with a direct line of communication to residents about important and often critical updates,” New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

The deal is a big one for San Francisco-based Nextdoor. New York is the highest profile city to use the platform, which is currently tapped for official communications by the second-tier cities of San Diego, Dallas and San Jose.
