As promised in last week's town meeting, the Delaware County town of Middletown launched an official town website this week, with help from a grant from the O'Connor Foundation.
The site is still something of a work in progress -- the official launch date is Wednesday, April 18 -- but it's live now at middletowndelawarecountyny.org, and it looks pretty good. Designer Lisa Tait of Silvertop Graphics, who ran a town information site in the aftermath of last year's floods, has included a section for emergency information to keep locals informed if disaster strikes.
Supervisor Marge Miller writes that town staff will be trained to post to the site:
The site contains calendar, government services, ‘important links’ and East Branch Flood Commission pages, among others, and current as well as archival meeting minutes and upcoming meeting agendas will be posted as the site develops and Middletown staff are trained to use the site as administrators, taking over from Tait.
Bravo to Middletown for getting online -- and here's hoping they'll keep the site current. We've put their RSS feed into our "Around the Blogshed" section, so new posts on the site will show up immediately as links on the Watershed Post.
