Nevada’s most populous county, Clark County, has become bilingual on social media, with county officials declaring the goal is to fill the gap and communication gaps with Spanish-speaking residents.

“With this move, we hope to ensure that all of our residents are better equipped with the latest information about our services and programs — and to deepen engagement with our community”, County Commission Chairman Jim Gibson said in a statement.

County officials also hope the Spanish-language pages will help them better assess residents’ needs for everything from child welfare to elderly services, according to the AssociatedPress.

Nevada has one of the largest Latino populations in the nation and in Clark County alone figures from the U.S. Census Bureau show that Hispanics make up nearly one-third of the population.

Clark County covers the southern tip of Nevada, including the city of Las Vegas.
